- There tha' stands sayin' tha' doesn't like this one an' tha' doesn't like that one. How does tha' like thysel'?
- There doesn't seem to be no need for no one to be contrary when there's flowers an' such like, an' such lots o' friendly wild things runnin' about makin' homes for themselves, or buildin' nests an' singin' an' whistlin', does there?
- Th' two worst things as can happen to a child is never to have his own way--or always to have it.
- Th' world's full o' jackasses brayin' an' they never bray nowt but lies.
- One of the new things people began to find out in the last century was that thoughts--just mere thoughts--are as powerful as electric batteries--as good for one as sunlight is, or as bad for one as poison. To let a sad thought or a bad one get into your mind is as dangerous as letting a scarlet fever germ get into your body. If you let it stay there after it has got in you may never get over it as long as you live.
- Where you tend a rose, my lad, a thistle cannot grow.
