You are of those who do not need training or experience: you are a genius, whose chief characteristic is adaptability.

Some people, to whom nature and Providence have not been generous live up to things; to you it is given to live down to them; and no one can do it so well.

We have had good times together--happy conversations and some cheerful and entertaining dreams and purposes.

We have made the most of opportunity, each in his and her own way.

But, my dear Jasmine, don't ever think that you will need to come to me for advice and to learn to be wise.
