By the time we've hit fifty, we have learned our hardest lessons

I have no patience with women who measure and weigh their love like a country doctor dispensing capsules. If a man is worth loving at all, he is worth loving generously, even recklessly.

There are very few persons who would think of inquiring into the private life of the newspaper dealer at the corner, or the druggist, or the doctor, or even a Mah Jong partner, but the moment one belongs to the theatrical profession, the public usually feels cheated unless it knows one's inmost thoughts of love.

If a man is worth loving at all, he is worth loving generously, even recklessly.

In order to represent life on the stage, we must rub elbows with life, live ourselves

I was born serious and I have earned my bread making other people laugh.

By the time we hit fifty, we have learned our hardest lessons. We have found out that only a few things are really important. We have learned to take life seriously, but never ourselves.
