Considering how foolishly people act and how pleasantly they prattle, perhaps it would be better for the world if they talked more and did less.

I would sooner read a time-table or a catalogue than nothing at all. They are much more entertaining than half the novels that are written.

Perfection is a trifle dull. It is not the least of life's ironies that this, which we all aim at, is better not quite achieved.

You can do anything in this world if you are prepared to take the consequences.

If people waited to know one another before they married, the world wouldn't be so grossly over-populated as it is now
