Whose property is my body? Probably mine. I so regard it. If I experiment with it, who must be answerable? I, not the State. If I choose injudiciously, does the state die? Oh, no.

There has been much tragedy in my life; at least half of it actually happened.

Prosperity is the surest breeder of insolence I know.

Life is short. Forgive quickly, kiss slowly and love truly.

Experience, the only logic sure to convince a diseased imagination and restore it to rugged health.

Few of us stand prosperity; another man's I mean.

Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.
