I've had a perfectly wonderful evening, but this wasn't it.

Forewarned, forearmed. To be prepared is half the victory.

We all live with the objective of being happy; our lives are all different and yet the same.

Hollywood brides keep the bouquets and throw away the grooms.

Memory... is an internal rumour.

A friend doesn't go on a diet because you are fat.

No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.

The spirit of man is an inward flame; a lamp the world blows upon but never puts out.

A great city is the place to escape the true drama of provincial life, and find solace in fantasy.

Dress shabbily and they remember the dress; dress impeccably and they remember the woman.

It is wonderful when you don't have the fear, and a lot of the time I don't ... I focus on what needs to be done instead.

If you never stop when you wave goodbye you just might find, if you give it time, you will wave hello again...

Enthusiasm... the sustaining power of all great action.

New opinions are always suspected, and usually opposed, without any other reason but because they are not common.

Maybe, just once, someone will call me 'Sir' without adding, 'You're making a scene.'

All human actions have one or more of these seven causes: chance, nature, compulsion, habit, reason, passion, and desire.

The bat thought I was giving him the kiss of life!

We can't become what we need to be by remaining what we are.

I have noticed even people who claim everything is predestined, and that we can do nothing to change it, look before they cross the road.

If the misery of the poor be caused not by the laws of nature, but by our institutions, great is our sin.

There is the view that poetry should improve your life. I think people confuse it with the Salvation Army.
