The great day of the Fire-eater - or, should I say, the day of the great Fire-eater - has passed.

I always have on my mind the thought that next year I must do something greater, something more wonderful.

I'm tired of fighting...

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.

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

Keep up your enthusiasm! There is nothing more contagious than exuberant enthusiasm.
