The public loves to create a hero....Sometimes I think they do it for the sheer joy of knocking him down from the highest peak. Like a child who builds a house of blocks and then destroys it with one vicious kick.

I looked into that empty bottle and I saw myself.

If every man, ...ceased to hate and blame every other man for his own failures and shortcomings, we would see the end of every evil in the world, from war to backbiting.

I have seldom, if ever, seen money and gentleness go hand in hand.

Dead folks can't hurt you none. It's the ones that are alive, you have to watch out for.

How easy it is, how dangerously easy it is to hate a man for one's own inadequacies.

There can be neither beauty, nor trust, nor security between a man and a woman if there is not truth.
