It's not what you want in this life, it's what you get that you have to do with.

The first rule of life is to reveal nothing, to be exceptionally cautious in what you say, in whatever company you may find yourself. If you have a secret, you have only to whisper it to your dearest friend with the strictest injunction that it will go no further, and within half a day the story is all over town, and when you do make what would seem to be a perfectly sensible remark, you will find it reported in the most grotesque form, thus incurring no end of criticism to rebound upon you.

It is a sadness of growing older that some of us lose our ardent appreciation of what is new and different and difficult.

When men are scared of a woman, they always accuse her of being mannish.

One remembers horrors, I think, for the rest of one's life, but memories do not always remain so sharp, and with time, and new circumstance, do not affect us so powerfully.

Easy enough to dismiss others' problems when you had none of your own.

Love has no place in a lawyer's office.
