Quotes

  • You can tell the values of a nation by its advertisements.
  • Many a man who thinks to found a home discovers that he has merely opened a tavern for his friends.
  • As to abuse, I thrive on it. Abuse, hearty abuse, is a tonic to all save men of indifferent health.
  • To find a friend one must close one eye. To keep him—two.
