• I hate the pollyanna pest who says that all is for the best.

• Seeing ourselves as others see us would probably confirm our worst suspicions about them.

• There are plenty of good five-cent cigars in the country. The trouble is they cost a quarter. What this country needs is a good five-cent nickel.

• I find that a great part of the information I have was acquired by looking up something and finding something else on the way.

• The best part of the fiction in many novels is the notice that the characters are purely imaginary.
