I've always considered myself smarter than everyone around me, and sometimes, believe me, I've been ashamed of it. At the least, all my life I've looked away and never could look people straight in the eye.

They won't let me ... I can't be ... good!

If they drive God from the earth, we shall shelter Him underground.

What is most vile and despicable about money is that it even confers talent. And it will do so until the end of the world.

I think the devil doesn't exist, but man has created him, he has created him in his own image and likeness.

The man who lies to himself can be more easily offended than anyone else. You know it is sometimes very pleasant to take offense, isn't it? A man may know that nobody has insulted him, but that he has invented the insult for himself, has lied and exaggerated to make it picturesque, has caught at a word and made a mountain out of a molehill--he knows that himself, yet he will be the first to take offense, and will revel in his resentment till he feels great pleasure in it.

The greatest happiness is to know the source of unhappiness.
