There's no credit in not doing what you don't want to do. There's no virtue in not falling, when you're not tempted.

The real business of life is trying to understand each other.

Man is born in a day, and he dies in a day, and the thing is easily over; but to have a sick heart for three-fourths of one's lifetime is simply to have death renewed every morning; and life at that price is not worth living.

It's the people who try to be clever who never are; the people who are clever never think of trying to be.

Every shot that kills ricochets.

Every man should have laws of his own, I should think; commandments of his own, for every man has a different set of circumstances wherein to work - or worry.

Nothing is so unproductive as the law. It is expensive whether you win or lose.
