Margaret Mitchell

A man can’t ‘just be friends’ with another woman. Period.

Hard knocks have a place and value, but hard thinking goes farther in less time.

I think I always feel like if everything went to shit, I would just teach improv at a theatre.

But I do know there are not enough syllables to spell out how much I love you. I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love… You are my every moment, my every hour, my every day, my every season, and I know this isn’t poetry and it’s certainly not a haiku, it’s just all the things I needed to say to you.

Blessed is he who expects nothing, for he shall never be disappointed.

If you’re interested in ‘balancing’ work and pleasure, stop trying to balance them. Instead make your work more pleasurable.

Living never wore one out so much as the effort not to live.

The trouble with being punctual is that nobody’s there to appreciate it.

I think I am basically a happy person.

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

If you want more, you have to require more from yourself.

Good friends, good books and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life. (The conviction of the rich that the poor are happier is no more foolish than the conviction of the poor that the rich are.)

Never turn your back on enthusiasm.

I didn’t just come in on a load of turnips!

Man suffers only because he takes seriously what the gods made for fun.
