All my authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.

Life is serious all the time, but living cannot be. You may have all the solemnity you wish in your neckties, but in anything important (such as sex, death, and religion), you must have mirth or you will have madness.

We fear men so much, because we fear God so little. One fear cures another. When man's terror scares you, turn your thoughts to the wrath of God.

The madman is the man who has lost everything except his reason.

A really great person is the person who makes every person feel great.

Men do not differ much about what things they will call evils; they differ enormously about what evils they will call excusable.

There is no better test of a man's ultimate chivalry and integrity than how he behaves when he is wrong... A stiff apology is a second insult.
