Choosing not to read is like closing an open door to paradise

If we had less statemanship we could get along with fewer battleships.

In Austria an editor who can write well is valuable, but he is not likely to remain so unless he can handle a sabre with charm.

The true charm of pedestrians does not lie in the walking, or in the scenery, but in the talking.

A sin takes on a new and real terror when there seems a chance that it is going to be found out.

My heart goes out to anyone who is making his first appearance before an audience of human beings.

We have not all had the good fortune to be ladies. We have not all been generals, or poets, or statesmen; but when the toast works down to the babies, we stand on common ground.
