I know a little bit about a great many things and not enough about any one to make a living in these times.

In poverty she is envious. In riches she may be a snob. Money does not change the sickness, only the symptoms

You can boast about anything if it's all you have. Maybe the less you have, the more you are required to boast.

I have no choice of living or dying, you see, sir--but I do have a choice of how I do it. If I tell them not to fight, they will be sorry, but they will fight. If I tell them to fight, they will be glad, and I who am not a very brave man will have made them a little braver.

It is the nature of a person as he/she grows older to protest against change, particularly changes for the better.

It seems to me that if you or I must choose between two courses of thought or action, we should remember our dying and try so to live that our death brings no pleasure on the world.
