Clowns are the pegs on which the circus is hung.

There is no such thing in the world as luck. There never was a man who could go out in the morning and find a purse full of gold in the street to-day, and another to-morrow, and so on, day after day: He may do so once in his life; but so far as mere luck is concerned, he is as liable to lose it as to find it.

Money is in some respects like fire; it is a very excellent servant but a terrible master.

With the young man starting in business, let him understand the value of money by earning it.

There is no greater picture than that of 10,000 smiling children. No brighter music than their clear-ringing laughter. That I, with my small amusements, have created such precious art is my life's proudest achievement.

I would rather hear the pleased laugh of a child over some feature of my exhibition than receive as I did the flattering compliments of the Prince of Wales.

The truth is, the more kind and liberal a man is, the more generous will be the patronage bestowed upon him.
