Love is like war easy to begin but very hard to stop.

The fact is that the average man's love of liberty is nine-tenths imaginary, exactly like his love of sense, justice and truth. Liberty is not a thing for the great masses of men. It is the exclusive possession of a small and disreputable minority, like knowledge, courage and honor. It takes a special sort of man to understand and enjoy liberty - and he is usually an outlaw in democratic societies.

It is hard to believe that a man is telling the truth when you know that you would lie if you were in his place.

In every woman's life there is one real and consuming love. But very few women guess which one it is.

Love is an emotion that is based on an opinion of women that is impossible for those who have had any experience with them.

The typical American of today has lost all the love of liberty, that his forefathers had, and all their disgust of emotion, and pride in self- reliance. He is led no longer by Davy Crocketts; he is led by cheer leaders, press agents, word mongers, uplifters.

Women have simple tastes. They get pleasure out of the conversation of children in arms and men in love.

A man loses his sense of direction after four drinks; a woman loses hers after four kisses.

As the arteries grow hard, the heart grows soft.
