Josh Billings
  • Flattery is like cologne water, to be smelt, not swallowed.

  • There's a great power in words, if you don't hitch too many of them together.

  • Marrying for love may be a bit risky, but it is so honest that God can't help but smile on it.

  • It is not all bad, this getting old, ripening. After the fruit has got its growth it should juice up and mellow. God forbid I should live long enough to ferment and rot and fall to the ground in a squash.

  • Laughter is the sensation of feeling good all over and showing it principally in one place.
