I believe that it should be perfectly lawful to print even things that outrage the pruderies and prejudices of the general, so long as any honest minority, however small, wants to read them. The remedy of the majority is not prohibition, but avoidance.

Socialist: A man suffering from an overwhelming conviction to believe what is not true.

The American people, taking one with another, constitute the most timorous, snivelling, poltroonish, ignominious mob of serfs and goosesteppers ever gathered under one flag in Christendom since the end of the Middle Ages.

Wife: one who is sorry she did it, but would undoubtedly do it again.

When you sympathize with a married woman you either make two enemies or gain one wife and one friend.

The average man never really thinks from end to end of his life. The mental activity of such people is only a mouthing of clichés.

All the great enterprises of the world are run by a few smart men: their aides and associates run down by rapid stages to the level of sheer morons. Everyone knows that this is true of government, but we often forget that it is equally true of private undertakings. In the average great bank, or railroad, or other corporation the burden of management lies upon a small group. The rest are ciphers.
