All animals, except man, know that the principal business of life is to enjoy it.

I never knew a writer yet who took the smallest pains with his style and was at the same time readable.

Think of and look at your work as though it were done by your enemy. I you look at it to admire it, you are lost.

Life is the art of drawing sufficient conclusions from insufficient premises.
