I never saw a lawyer yet who would admit he was making money.

it's been my experience that the first few days of married life women are blind because they want to be and after that because they have to be.

It's the safety valve of middle life, and the solace of age.

The one pleasure that never palls is the pleasure of not going to church.

I suppose it is because woman's courage is mental and man's physical, that in times of great strain women always make the better showing.

there is something shameful about the death of a play. It does not die with pity, but contempt. A book may fail, but who is there to know it? It dies and is buried, and is decently interred on the bookseller's shelf; but the play dies to laughter, to scorn and disdain.

It takes a good many years and some pretty hard knocks to make people tolerant.
