“If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you.”

“The reasonable man adapts himself to the world: the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.”

“Those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.”

“The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.”

“My opportunities were still there, nay, they multiplied tenfold; but the strength and youth to cope with them began to fail, and to need eking out with the shifty cunning of experience.”

“I am a Millionaire. That is my religion.”

“All professions are a conspiracy against the country.”

“When people shake their heads because we are living in a restless age, ask them how they would like to life in a stationary one, and do without change.”

“She had lost the art of conversation, but not, unfortunately, the power of speech.”

“You don't learn to hold your own in the world by standing on guard, but by attacking, and getting well-hammered yourself.”

“It is easy - terribly easy - to shake a man's faith in himself. To take advantage of that, to break a man's spirit is devil's work.”

“Everything happens to everybody sooner or later if there is time enough.”

“Men are wise in proportion, not to their experience, but to their capacity for experience.”
