Art, unless it leads to right action, is no more than the opium of an intelligentsia.
W. Somerset MaughamThere is only one way to win hearts and that is to make oneself like unto those of whom one would be loved.
W. Somerset MaughamI do not believe they are right who say that the defects of famous men should be ignored. I think it is better that we should know them. Then, though we are conscious of having faults as glaring as theirs, we can believe that that is no hindrance to our achieving also something of their virtues.
