Philosophy is like a normal personal organizer, but it's smaller than a matchbox.

When I was young I thought that money was the most important thing in life; now that I am old I know that it is.

I forgot that every little action of the common day makes or unmakes character, and that therefore what one has done in the secret chamber one has some day to cry aloud on the house-tops.

Progress is the realization of utopia.

A man's life is of more value than a woman's. It has larger issues, wider scope, greater ambitions. Our lives revolve in curves of emotions. It is upon lines of intellect that a man's life progresses. I have just learnt this, and much else with it, from Lord Goring. And I will not spoil your life for you, nor see you spoil it as a sacrifice to me, a useless sacrifice.

Life is terrible. It rules us, we do not rule it.

No man should have a secret from his wife. She invariably finds it out.
