When you get a cat to catch the mice in your kitchen, you can't expect it to ignore the rats in the cellar.

Philosophy begins when you don't know where to look for an answer.

When something needs to be said, you look for a man to say it. But when something needs actually to be done, you look for a woman.

A man's bookseller should keep his confidence, like his physician. What can become of a world where every man knows what another man reads? Why, sir, books would become like quacks' potions, with every mountebank in the newspapers claiming one volume's superiority over another.

To grant all a man's wishes is to take away his dreams and ambitions. Life is only worth living if you have something to strive for. To aim at.

A wish is a dish that's a lot like a fish: Once it's been eaten it's harder to throw back. - Mr. Rakshasas

May the saddest day of your future be no worse than the happiest day of your past.
