Every man's happiness is built on the unhappi-ness of another.

If we wait for the moment when everything, absolutely everything is ready, we shall never begin.

I do not know what the heart of a bad man is like. But i do know what the heart of a good man is like. And it is terrible.

Time, as is well known, sometimes flies like a bird and sometimes crawls like a worm, but human beings are generally particularly happy when they don't notice whether it's passing quickly or slowly.

That is a most wretched fortune which is without an enemy.

I don't believe in pressure. Pressure is when you don't know where your next meal is coming from.
