I have always been of opinion that a man who desires to get married should know either everything or nothing.

I don't want to earn a living. I want to live.

On the whole, the great success of marriage in the States is due partly to the fact that no American man is ever idle, and partly to the fact that no American wife is considered responsible for the quality of her husband's dinners.

Man is many things, but he is not rational.

Sympathy with joy intensifies the sum of sympathy in the world, sympathy with pain does not really diminish the amount of pain.

Live! Live the wonderful life that is in you! Let nothing be lost upon you. Be always searching for new sensations. Be afraid of nothing.

It is absurd to divide people into good and bad. People are either charming or tedious.
