Ours is a terrible religion. The fleets of the world could swim in spacious comfort in the innocent blood it has spilt.

To stand still is to fall behind.

Never do wrong when people are looking.

It is my belief that nearly any invented quotation, played with confidence, stands a good chance to deceive.

These people´s God has shown them by a million acts that he respects none of the Bible´s statues. He breaks every one of them himself, adultery and all.

The proverb says, "Born lucky, always lucky," and I am very superstitious. As a small boy I was notoriously lucky. It was usual for one or two of our lads (per annum) to get drowned in the Mississippi or in Bear Creek, but I was pulled out in a 2/3 drowned condition 9 times before I learned to swim, and was considered to be a cat in disguise.

Be good and you'll be lonesome
