If I'm a lousy writer, then an awful lot of people have lousy taste.

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

Didn't you ever notice how it's always people who wish they had somethin' or had done somethin' that hate the hardest?

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.

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

Even Tom Sawyer had a girlfriend and to talk about adults without talking about their sex drives is like talking about a window without glass.
