What puzzles most of us are the things which have been left in the movies rather than the things which have been taken out.

Just as we are often moved to merriment for no other reason than that the occasion calls for seriousness, so we are correspondingly serious when invited too freely to be amused.

A real dog, beloved and therefore pampered by his mistress, is a lamentable spectacle. He suffers from fatty degeneration of his moral being.

It is in his pleasure that a man really lives.

It is the steady and merciless increase of occupations, the augmented speed at which we are always trying to live, the crowding of each day with more work than it can profitably hold, which has cost us, among other things, the undisturbed enjoyment of friends. Friendship takes time, and we have no time to give it.

It is unwise to feel too much if we think too little.

Art... does not take kindly to facts, is helpless to grapple with theories, and is killed outright by a sermon.
