I like men who have a future and women who have a past.

I always pass on good advice. It is the only thing to do with it. It is never of any use to oneself.

An idea that is not dangerous is unworthy of being called an idea at all.

We live in an age when unnecessary things are our only necessities.

The public have an insatiable curiosity to know everything, except what is worth knowing.

Women treat us [men] like humanity treats gods – they worship us and keep bothering us to do something.

The nicest feeling in the world is to do a good deed anonymously-and have somebody find out.

The good ended happily, and the bad unhappily. That is what Fiction means.

There are many things that we would throw away if we were not afraid that others might pick them up.
