Do not forget that small daily actions do or undo character.

The only way a woman can ever reform a man is by boring him so completely that he loses all possible interest in life.

The one person who has more illusions than the dreamer is the man of action.

Nobody of any real culture, for instance, ever talks nowadays about the beauty of sunset. Sunsets are quite old fashioned. To admire them is a distinct sign of provincialism of temperament. Upon the other hand they go on.

The old believe everything, the middle-aged suspect everything, the young know everything.

The mind of the thoroughly well-informed man is a dreadful thing. It is like a bric-à-brac shop, all monsters and dust, with everything priced above its proper value.

Society often forgives the criminal; it never forgives the dreamer.
