Charles Buxton

In life, as in chess, forethought wins.

If we do what is necessary, all the odds are in our favor.

The first duty to children is to make them happy. If you have not made them so, you have wronged them. No other good they may get can make up for that.

I confess that I listen to my own music for my own pleasure.

I've always been very determined, ever since I was a little girl, to make my way.

When I go abroad I always sail from Boston because it is such a pleasant place to get away from.
