  2. “Come with me and you’ll be, in a world of pure imagination, take a look and you’ll see, into your imagination.”

  3. “If you’re not gonna tell the truth, then why start talking?”

  4. “So shines a good deed… in a weary world.”

  5. “What is essential is invisible to the eye.”

  6. “When you please your mother by doing something, it gives you confidence that you can please other people.”
