If you want to be thought a liar, always tell the truth

There is more felicity on the far side of baldness than young men can possibly imagine.

The world is not unkind, and reprobates are worse than their reputations.

Don't laugh at youth for his affectations; he is only trying on one face after another to find his own.

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

The old know what they want; the young are sad and bewildered.

Style is a magic wand, and turns everything to gold that it touches.
