That lonely kind of courage (civic courage as we call it in times of peace) is the kind of valor to which the monuments of nations should most of all be reared.”

“Those who in this world have the courage to try and solve in their own lives new problems of life, are the ones who raise society to greatness.”

“The trouble with Hooker is that he's got his headquarters where his hindquarters aught to be.”

“Life is fraught with opportunities to keep your mouth shut.”

“Charm is a way of getting the answer 'Yes' without asking a clear question.”

“To get out of a hard situation, try a soft answer.”
