Even things that are true can be proved.

To invent anything at all is an act of sheer genius, and, in a commercial age like ours, shows considerable physical courage. Few of our modern novelists dare to invent a single thing. It is an open secret that they don't know how to do it. Upon the other hand, to corroborate a falsehood is a distinctly cowardly action. I know it is a thing that the newspapers do one for the other, every day, but it is not the act of a gentleman. No Gentleman ever corroborates anything.

One should never trust a woman who tells one her real age. A woman who would tell one that would tell one anything.

She wore far too much rouge last night and not quite enough clothes. That is always a sign of despair in a woman.

The truth is rarely pure and never simple.

Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.

Women have no appreciation of good looks-at least, good women have not.

Nichts Interessantes ist jemals richtig.

The pure and simple truth is, the truth is never pure and simple.
