1870-1942, American Author
A cynic is a man who looks at the world with a monocle in his mind's eye.
Carolyn Wells – [Cynics and Cynicism]


Actions lie louder than words.
Carolyn Wells – [Action]


The books we think we ought to read are poky, dull, and dry; The books that we would like to read we are ashamed to buy; The books that people talk about we never can recall; And the books that people give us, oh, they're the worst of all.
Carolyn Wells – [Books and Reading]
