That is why, no matter how desperate the predicament is, I am always very much in earnest about clutching my cane, straightening my derby hat and fixing my tie, even though I have just landed on my head.

I do not have much patience with a thing of beauty that must be explained to be understood.

You'll find that life is still worthwhile, if you just smile.

I do not wish to lose my temper because very shortly I will lose my head. Nevertheless, upon leaving this spark of earthly existence, I have this to say: I shall see you all very soon ... very soon.

That's what all we are: amateurs. We don't live long enough to be anything else.

I am known in parts of the world by people who have never heard of Jesus Christ.

Time is the best author. It always writes the perfect ending.
