The Palm is a joint for sadists to entertain masochists.

A bore is someone who persists in holding his own views after we have enlightened him with ours.

Some people as a result of adversity are sadder, wiser, kinder, more human. Most of us are better, though, when things go better. Knowing when to keep your mouth shut is invariably more important than opening it at the right time. Always listen to a man when he describes the faults of others. Often times, most times, he's describing his own, revealing himself.

It's so much easier to suggest solutions when you don't know too much about the problem.

How to fail: Try too hard.

When you don't want something enough to make the effort, making an effort is a waste.

One's real worth is never a quantifiable thing.
