If God really wanted to punish, he'd answer all our prayers.
What is said of man is nothing; the point is, who says it.
Murder is always a mistake. One should never do anything that one cannot talk about after dinner.
The only proper intoxication is conversation.
Pleasures may turn a heart to stone, riches may make it callous, but sorrows cannot break it. Hearts live by being wounded.
We live in an age that reads too much to be wise, and that thinks too much to be beautiful.
