It is the wretchedness of being rich that you have to live with rich people.

Happiness is a wine of the rarest vintage, and seems insipid to a vulgar taste.

There are two things to aim at in life: first, to get what you want; and after that, to enjoy it. Only the wisest of mankind achieve the second.

The test of a vocation is the love of the drudgery it involves.

The test of enjoyment is the remembrance which it leaves behind.

Only those who get into scrapes with their eyes open can find the safe way out.

If it's to be, it's up to me.
