Edgar Watson Howe quotes
A poem is no place for an idea.
Abuse a man unjustly, and you will make friends for him.
Americans detest all lies except lies spoken in public or printed lies.
Express a mean opinion of yourself occasionally; it will show your friends that you know how to tell the truth.
If you don't learn to laugh at trouble, you won't have anything to laugh at when you're old.
Many people would be more truthful were it not for their uncontrollable desire to talk.
Men have as exaggerated an idea of their rights as women have of their wrongs.
Most people have seen worse things in private than they pretend to be shocked at in public.
When a friend is in trouble, don't annoy him by asking if there is any thing you can do. Think up something appropriate and do it.
