It is hard enough luck being a monarch, without being a target also.

If you send a damned fool to St. Louis, and you don't tell them he's a damned fool, they'll never find out.

Let us be thankful for the fools. But for them the rest of us could not succeed.

...many foolish persons, wanderers from other parts, have the vain fashion of graving their names and the obscure places whence they come, upon its stones, which is silly and marketh the doer for a fool.

I am not the editor of a newspaper and shall always try to do right and be good so that God will not make me one.

I will gradually drop this subject of graveyards. I have been trying all I could to get down to the sentimental part of it, but I cannot accomplish it. I think there is no genuinely sentimental part to it. It is all grotesque, ghastly, horrible.

If I can capture truth in its simplest form, beauty will follow like a sledgehammer.
