Europeans have quarrelled since the beginning of time.

It's been agony but I couldn't have done it any other way.

Nothing more rapidly inclines a person to go into a monastery than reading a book on etiquette. There are so many trivial ways in which it is possible to commit some social sin.

I have to realise that as I am only English and am allowed to live in America, I have to give something in return. And since I cannot build a hospital, or endow a university, I can only give my infinite availability.

Ask yourself, if there was to be no blame, and if there was to be no praise, who would I be then?

I never spend my time doing anything I'll have to do again tomorrow.

When asked to give advice, I do of course give it, because I give whatever I am asked to give.
