- A fashion is nothing but an induced epidemic.
- A fool's brain digests philosophy into folly, science into superstition, and art into pedantry.
- A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.
- A lifetime of happiness! No man alive could bear it; it would be hell on earth.
- England and America are two countries separated by a common language.
- Patriotism is your conviction that this country is superior to all other countries because you were born in it.
- Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh.
- If history repeats itself, and the unexpected always happens, how incapable must Man be of learning from experience.
- Martyrdom is the only way in which a man can become famous without ability.
- Everything happens to everybody sooner or later if there is time enough.
