Happiness for me is largely a matter of digestion.

Business men who are busy the whole day and immediately go to bed after supper, snoring like cows, are not likely to contribute anything to culture.

Men resort to talking only when they haven't the power to enforce their convictions upon others.

On the whole, the enjoyment of leisure is something which decidedly costs less than the enjoyment of luxury. All it requires is an artistic temperament which is bent on seeking a perfectly useless afternoon spent in a perfectly useless manner.

What is patriotism but the love of the food one ate as a child?

All women's dresses, in every age and country, are merely variations on the eternal struggle between the admitted desire to dress and the unadmitted desire to undress.

Hope is like a road in the country; there was never a road, but when many people walk on it, the road comes into existence.
