–I think that God in creating Man somewhat overestimated his ability.
— When the gods wish to punish us, they answer our prayers.
— A man cannot be too careful in the choice of his enemies. I have not got one who is a fool. They are all men of some intellectual power, and consequently they all appreciate me.
— The only thing to do with good advice is pass it on.
— There are only two tragedies in life: one is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it.
— I can resist anything except temptation.
— A good friend will always stab you in the front.
— In matters of grave importance, style, not sincerity, is the vital thing.
— Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.
— Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.
