It ain't those parts of the Bible that I can't understand that bother me, it is the parts that I do understand.

We find not much in ourselves to admire, we are always privately wanting to be like somebody else. If everybody was satisfied with himself, there would be no heroes

There is no such thing as the Queen's English. The property has gone into the hands of a joint stock company and we own the bulk of the shares!

The Impartial Friend: Death, the only immortal who treats us all alike, whose pity and whose peace and whose refuge are for all--the soiled and the pure, the rich and the poor, the loved and the unloved.

The older we grow the greater becomes our wonder at how much ignorance one can contain without bursting one's clothes.
