Even the strongest man needs friends.

Power wears out those who do not have it.

Why should I be afraid now? Strange men have come to kill me ever since I was twelve years old.

Never get angry. Never make a threat. Reason with people.

It can be argued that man's instinct to gamble is the only reason he is still not a monkey up in the trees.

He was a degenerate gambler. That is, a man who gambled simply to gamble and must lose. As a hero who goes to war must die. Show me a gambler and I'll show you a loser, show me a hero and I'll show you a corpse.

Never let a domestic quarrel ruin a day's writing. If you can't start the day fresh, get rid of your wife.
