A true gentleman is one who is never intentionally rude.

He is some brainless, beautiful creature, who should always be here in winter when we have no flowers to look at, and always here in the summer when we want something to chill our intelligence.

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

Men are such cowards. They outrage every law in the world and are afraid of the world's tongue.

In modern life nothing produces such an effect as a good platitude. It makes the whole world kin.

There is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book. Books are well written, or badly written.

The morality of art consists in the perfect use of an imperfect medium.
