- How many people live on the reputation of the reputation they might have made?
- Man’s mind, stretched by a new idea, never goes back to its original dimensions.
- Sin has many tools, but a lie is the handle which fits them all.
- The right to swing my fist ends where the other man’s nose begins.
- To be seventy years young is sometimes far more cheerful and hopeful than to be forty years old.
- Man has will, but woman has her way.
