The trouble with you and me, is that we don't live in the real world. We dream of fantastic things that may never happen.

What an absurdity to go and bury oneself in South America, where they are always having revolutions.

Time is the best killer.

Any medical man who predicts exactly when a patient will die, or exactly how long he will live, is bound to make a fool of himself. The human factor is always incalculable. The weak have often unexpected powers of resistance, the strong sometimes succumb.

In my experience, people who go about looking for trouble usually find it.

What I feel is that if one has got to have a murder actually happening in one's house, one might as well enjoy it, if you know what I mean.

To count - really and truly to count - a woman must have goodness or brains.
