There is something more horrible than to live with an unhappy person and that is to live with someone who is pretending to be happy!

If you are happy with your past, you visit it often; and strangely, if you are unhappy with your past, you visit it often too!

You never pretend when you are all alone with yourself!

In the middle of the North Pole, anything hot gives the feeling like touching the hand of the God!

If the quality of the people got better as they aged, how good that would be, don’t you think so? Then we would put all the swindlers, crooks, usurers, robbers, hucksters, and gamblers we could find into a barrel and wait for some years, until their characters could leave an exquisite taste on all palates.

Like a butcher without a knife, a knight without a sword, and a farrier without a hammer, you cannot have a town without rules; if there were a town like that, a great big anarchy would reign there, just as in the realm of animals!
