Something deathless and dangerous in the world sweeps past you...It is something fearful and ominous, something turbulent and to be dreaded, which distends the drama to include the life of nations as well as of men. It is an ageless warning.

Friendship should be a private pleasure, not a public boast. I loathe those braggarts who are forever trying to invest themselves with importance by calling important people by their first names in or out of print. Such first-naming for effect makes me cringe.

A good conversationalist is not one who remembers what was said, but says what someone wants to remember.

Charm is a glow within a woman which casts a most becoming light on others.

I am as content to die for God's eternal truth on the scaffold as in any other way.

I am ready any time. Do not keep me waiting.
