My ambition in life: to become successful enough to resume my career as a neurasthenic.
If beggars do not hate the rest of us, they are even more abject than I had imagined.
Wisdom cannot prevent a fall, but may cushion it.
Finding a thought for an aphorism is not hard. Putting a kink in its tail is the hard part.
Fear of my cruel impulses makes me kind.
Courage, determination, and hard work are all very nice, but not so nice as an oil well in the back yard.
