I'm glad we haven't got newspapers now. It's been much nicer without them.

I never was in such a horrid office . . . It's not very nice to be where people are being swindled all day long, is it?

You cannot argue stupidity, you just have to accept it patiently as one of those things.

The thing most worth doing in this modern world [is to] create jobs that men can work at, and be proud of, and make money by their work.

Maybe we've been too silly to deserve a world like this.

If I have learned one thing in my 54 years, it is that it is very good for the character to engage in sports which put your life in danger from time to time. It breeds a saneness in dealing with day to day trivialities which probably cannot be got in any other way, and a habit of quick decisions.

It's no good going on living in the ashes of a dead happiness.
