To live is like to love - all reason is against it, and all healthy instinct for it.

Half the vices which the world condemns most loudly have seeds of good in them and require moderate use rather than total abstinence.

Life is one long process of getting tired.

Evil is like water, it abounds, is cheap, soon fouls, but runs itself clear of taint.

God was satisfied with his own work, and that is fatal.

A sense of humor keen enough to show a man his own absurdities will keep him from the commission of all sins, or nearly all, save those worth committing.

Look before you leap for as you sow, ye are like to reap.
