There is no diplomacy like candor.

Nothing is so boring as having to keep up a deception.

I have noticed that the people who are late are often so much jollier than the people who have to wait for them.

There can be no defence like elaborate courtesy.

A horse's eye disquiets me: it has an expression of alarm that may at any moment be translated into action.

One of the most adventurous things left us is to go to bed. For no one can lay a hand on our dreams.

The art of life is to show your hand.
