Sometimes I think my writing sounds like I walked out of the room and left the typewriter running.

I see no advantage in these new clocks. They run no faster than the ones made 100 years ago.

Most people spend more time and energy going around problems than in trying to solve them.

Coming together is the beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success.

I have come to have the firm conviction that vanity is the basis of everything.

Most marriages don't add two people together. They subtract one from the other.

Those who deserve to die$$$ die the death they deserve.

Those whom the Gods wish to destroy$$$ they first make bored.

The highest forms of understanding we can achieve are laughter and human compassion.

What destroys us most effectively is not a malign fate but our own capacity for self-deception and for degrading our own best self.
