I hate the poor and look forward eagerly to their extermination.

Nothing is ever accomplished by a reasonable man.

Just as I cannot remember any time when I could not read and write, I cannot remember any time when I did not exercise my imagination in daydreams about women.

A man ought to be able to be fond of his wife without making a fool of himself about her.

I never resist temptation, because I have found that things that are bad for me do not tempt me.

My friend, when a man has anything to tell in this world, the difficulty is not to make him tell it, but to prevent him from telling it too often.

All progress is due to the unreasonable person.
