If a man wishes to act the hero on the stage he must not think of forming part of the chorus; he should not even know how the chorus is made up.”

“Be a hero. Always say, 'I have no fear.' Tell this to everyone - 'Have no fear.'”

“I never change, except in my affections.”

“By the time a partnership dissolves, it has dissolved.”

“Old friends pass away, new friends appear. It is just like the days. An old day passes, a new day arrives. The important thing is to make it meaningful: a meaningful friend - or a meaningful day.”
