• It is a funny thing about life; if you refuse to accept anything but the best, you very often get it.

• The common idea that success spoils people by making them vain, egotistic and self-complacent is erroneous; on the contrary it makes them, for the most part, humble, tolerant and kind.

• The ability to quote is a serviceable substitute for wit.

• Dying is a very dull, dreary affair. And my advice to you is to have nothing whatever to do with it.

• There are three rules for writing a novel. Unfortunately, no one knows what they are.

• Money is like a sixth sense without which you cannot make a complete use of the other five.
