It seems to me that the secret of true happiness in life is to know what you are and then be content to be that, in style, head up and proud, and not yearn to be something else.

Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own... Jealousy is a disease, love is a healthy condition. The immature mind often mistakes one for the other, or assumes that the greater the love, the greater the jealousy.

The killer looked up as the bullet hit him. He looked as if he were puzzled by some strange occurence, being too freshly dead to be aware of it.

Hate always sells well, but for repeat trade and the long pull happiness is sounder merchandise.

My old man taught me two things: 'Mind own business' and 'Always cut cards.'

No matter where or what, there are makers, takers, and fakers.

I believe in my neighbors. I know their faults and I know that their virtues far outweigh their faults.
