I really enjoyed this more than I thought I was going to. It isn't as if it is filled with drama or anything. It is what is says it is, but it was a fun read. I made one note:
What's the good of a home, if you are never in it? "Home Sweet Home," that's my motto.
Some other popular quotes are:
Why should I not publish my dairy? I have often seen reminiscences of people I have never even heard of, and I fail to see--because I do not happen to be a 'Somebody'-- why my dairy should not be interesting.
"The happy medium is nothing more or less than a vulgar half-measure. A man who loves champagne and, finding a pint too little, fears to face a whole bottle and has recourse to an imperial pint, will never build a Brooklyn Bridge or an Eiffel Tower. No, he is half-hearted, he is a half-measure--respectable--in fact, a happy medium, and will spend the rest of his days in a suburban villa with a stucco-column portico, resembling a four post bedstead."
