The requisitions of the income tax have added greatly to the attractions of mercenary crime.

MY rule is never to be rude to anyone unless you mean it.

I have a strong moral sense - by my standards.

I don't approve of open fires. You can't think, or talk or even make love in front of a fireplace. All you can do is stare at it.

Everyone has something they don't want anyone to see; that is one of the functions of a home, to provide a spot to keep such things.

A person who does not read cannot think. He may have good mental processes, but he has nothing to think about. You can feel for people or natural phenomena and react to them, but they are not ideas. You cannot think about them.
