If it weren't for painting, I wouldn't live; I couldn't bear the extra strain of things.

I live from mouth to hand.

There are two things that are more difficult than making an after-dinner speech: climbing a wall which is leaning toward you and kissing a girl who is leaning away from you.

I am never going to have anything more to do with politics or politicians. When this war is over I shall confine myself entirely to writing and painting.

Don't be careless about yourselves--on the other hand not too careful. Live well but do not flaunt it. Laugh a little and teach your men to laugh--get good humor under fire--war is a game that's played with a smile. If you can't smile, grin. If you can't grin, keep out of the way till you can.

All the great things are simple, and many can be expressed in a single word: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope.
