The 50-50-90 rule: Anytime you have a 50-50 chance of getting something right, there's a 90% probability you'll get it wrong.

I'm in a position of feeling secure enough so that I can say what I think is right and if so many people think it's wrong that I get fired, well, I've got enough to eat.

I'm always on the lookout for something good about people. Often months go by.

I've learned... that we should be glad God doesn't give us everything we ask for.

I hate to say it, but I had a great time in World War II.

I've learned that no matter how serious your life requires you to be, everyone needs a friend to act goofy with.

When I write, I use an Underwood #5 made in 1920. Someone gave me an electric typewriter, but there's no use pretending you can use machinery that thinks faster than you do. An electric typewriter is ready to go before I have anything to say.
