Quotes

  • Borrowing has a bad name, but you would be surprised how it helps in a pinch.
  • I borrow to pay my honest debts and not to squander foolishly. What's more, I confine my borrowing to those who can well afford it. I don't go around sponging on widows and orphans unless they have plenty.
  • I think you are absolutely right about everything, except I think humor springs from rage, hay fever, overdue rent and miscellaneous hell.
  • I hear so many things about who I am supposed to be I hardly know what to believe. I am willing to tell all, but what Is it? Doubtless all these myths and legends will be straightened out eventually, but It may take years.
  • I am billed as a humorist, but of course I am a tragedian at heart.
  • I only know that all is lost, and that nothing can help me unless I inherit money, strike oil or go to work.
