My Brain is the key that sets me free.

I do not believe that ghosts or spirits exist.

Magic is the sole science not accepted by scientists, because they can't understand it.

No prison can hold me; no hand or leg irons or steel locks can shackle me. No ropes or chains can keep me from my freedom.

Disloyalty in trusted servants is one of the most disheartening things that can happen to a public performer.

The pickpocket is usually very well dressed and of prepossessing appearance.

I think that in a year I may retire. I cannot take my money with me when I die and I wish to enjoy it, with my family, while I live. I should prefer living in Germany to any other country, though I am an American, and am loyal to my country.
