What is a bore? Maxwell definition: a vacuum cleaner of society, sucking up everything and giving nothing. How do you spot one? Bores are always anxious to be seen talking to you.

I make enemies deliberately. They are the sauce piquante to my dish of life.

Serve the dinner backward, do anything - but for goodness sake, do something weird.

Good manners - the longer I live the more convinced I am of it - are a priceless insurance against failure and loneliness. And anyone can have them.

Bores put you in a mental cemetery while you are still walking.

Only those who have earned leisure know how to use it profitably.

Laugh at yourself first, before anyone else can.
