If we have not peace within ourselves, it is in vain to seek it from outward sources. I'm a one-drink woman, two at the most, three I'm under the table, four I'm under the host. Get down on your knees and thank God you are on your feet. If you start to take Vienna, take Vienna. A faithful friend is the medicine of life. As the husband is, the wife is. Chance makes our parents, but choice makes our friends. Love is like playing the piano. First you must learn to play by the rules, then you must forget the rules and play from your heart. To make pleasure pleasant, shorten. I never believed in Santa Claus because I knew no white dude would come into my neighbourhood after dark. The freedom of the press is one of the great bulwarks of liberty and can never be restrained but by despotic governments. A man never tells you anything until you contradict him. We are the wire, God is the current. Our only power is to let the current pass through us. If the poor man cannot always get meat, the rich man cannot always digest it. The only unhappiness is a life of boredom. A man must get a thing before he can forget it. Through our own recovered innocence we discern the innocence of our neighbours. A true friend is the best possession. The things taught in schools are not an education but the means of an education. Moderation in war is imbecility.
