"Wisdom doesn't automatically come with old age. Nothing does - except wrinkles.
It's true, some wines improve with age.
But only if the grapes were good in the first place."
"I am still determined to be cheerful and happy, in whatever situation I may be; for I have also learned from experience that the greater part of our happiness or misery depends upon our dispositions, and not upon our circumstances."
"It is a wise father that knows his own child."
"Monday’s child is fair of face, Tuesday’s child is full of grace,
Wednesday’s child is full of woe, Thursday’s child has far to go,
Friday’s child is loving and giving, Saturday’s child works hard for living,
But the child that is born on Sabbath day Is bonny and blithe,
and good and gay."
