It's my rule never to lose me temper till it would be detrimental to keep it.

Money does not make you happy but it quiets the nerves.

Politics - I don't know why, but they seem to have a tendency to separate us, to keep us from one another, while nature is always and ever making efforts to bring us together.

Laughter is wine for the soul - laughter soft, or loud and deep, tinged through with seriousness - the hilarious declaration made by man that life is worth living.

There's nothing so passionate as a vested interest disguised as an intellectual conviction.

There's no reason to bring religion into it. I think we ought to have as great a regard for religion as we can, so as to keep it out of as many things as possible.
