"The idle curiosity is not so often a mark of the human female as of the male."

"Civilization is not inherited; it has to be learned and earned by each generation anew."

"You can't expect to be happy if you're surrounded by mess."

"Health and happiness - these are true wealth"

"How can you live like this? It's like a pigsty!"

"You're going to get sick living like this."
