A good memory and a tongue tied in the middle is a combination which gives immortality to conversation.

I thoroughly disapprove of duels. If a man should challenge me, I would take him kindly and forgivingly by the hand and lead him to a quiet place and kill him.

I cannot call to mind a single instance where I have ever been irreverent, except toward the things which were sacred to other people.

I don't know of a single foreign product that enters this country untaxed, except the answer to prayer.

After a few months' acquaintance with European 'coffee' one's mind weakens, and his faith with it, and he begins to wonder if the rich beverage of home, with it's clotted layer of yellow cream on top of it, is not a mere dream after all, and a thing which never existed.

A man is never more truthful than when he acknowledges himself a liar.

Deep down in me I knowed it was a lie, and He knowed it. You can't pray a lie - I found that out.
