“A good actor must never be in love with anyone but himself.”

“Life is a wonderful thing to talk about, or to read about in history books - but it is terrible when one has to live it.”

“The only immorality is not to do what one has to do when one has to do it.”

“Nothing is irreparable in politics.”

“Life has a way of setting things in order and leaving them be. Very tidy, is life.”

“When you are forty, half of you belongs to the past... And when you are seventy, nearly all of you.”

“We poison our lives with fear of burglary and shipwreck, and, ask anyone, the house is never burgled, and the ship never goes down.”
