Never trust a woman who will not lie about her age after thirty. She is unwomanly and unhuman and there is no knowing what crimes she will commit.

I see no present solution of a great and intricate problem but that the rich should realize their duty to the poor.

Women love the lie that saves their pride, but never an unflattering truth.

if there's a spirit world why don't the ghosts of dead artists get together and inhibit bad playwrights from tormenting first-nighters?

when I am alone in the forest I always say my prayers; and that occasional solitary communion with God is surely the only true religion for intelligent beings.

Self-admiration giveth much consolation.
