If all men were rich, all men would be poor.

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

Don't tell fish stories where the people know you; but particularly, don't tell them where they know the fish.

Everybody lies...every day, every hour, awake, asleep, in his dreams, in his joy, in his mourning. If he keeps his tongue still his hands, his feet, his eyes, his attitude will convey deception.

My kind of loyalty was loyalty to one's country, not to its institutions or its officeholders. The country is the real thing, the substantial thing, the eternal thing; it is the thing to watch over, and care for, and be loyal to; institutions are extraneous, they are its mere clothing, and clothing can wear out, become ragged, cease to be comfortable, cease to protect the body from winter, disease, and death.

We Americans... bear the ark of liberties of the world.

A little lie can travel half way 'round the world while Truth is still lacing up her boots.
