True bravery is shown by performing without witness what one might be capable of doing before all the world. Opera in English is, in the main, just about as sensible as baseball in Italian. Love is a deep well from which you may drink often, but into which you may fall but once. All the crimes on earth do not destroy so many of the human race, nor alienate so much property, as drunkenness. The smartest thing I ever said was, "Help Me!" For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again. Vengeance is sweet. Give me a man who sings at his work. Mine is better than ours. Friends are relatives you make for yourself. Sex is like money; only too much is enough. It is not good to wake a sleeping lion. If we are to judge of love by its consequences, it more nearly resembles hatred than friendship. So long as I believe I have to do certain things, I will just go right ahead. That's how I run my life. To all things clergic I am allergic. If you would be loved, love and be lovable. We're frightened of what makes us different. The learned is happy, nature to explore, the fool is happy, that he knows no more. Two-parent sex appeared on the scene about 500,000,000 years ago. Fire tries gold, misery tries brave men.
