One of my theories is that the hearts of men are about alike, no matter what their skin color.

The statesmen will invent cheap lies, putting the blame upon the nation that is being attacked, and every man will be glad of these conscience-soothing falsities

It is often the case that a man who can't tell a lie thinks he is the best judge of one.

If it's your job to eat a frog, it's best to do it first thing in the morning. And If it's your job to eat two frogs, it's best to eat the biggest one first.

You want to be very careful about lying; otherwise you are nearly sure to get caught.

There are no people who are quite so vulgar as the over-refined.

I felt it was my duty to praise all of God's works with fervent enthusiasm. At the same time I killed flies in my house in a spirit of hatred, exasperation and contempt. My praise to God for all his works was dishonest, the act of killing the fly was honest.
