"A good, real, unrestrained, hearty laugh is..." - Quote by Abraham Lincoln

“The working men are the basis of all governments, for the plain reason that they are the most numerous.”

“A man has not the time to spend half his life in quarrels. If any man ceases to attack me, I never remember the past against him.”

“Everybody likes a compliment.”

“I like those blow-up beds. "This becomes a full size bed in three minutes!" Well, a mattress kicks your ass. Zero seconds. "Yeah, but you can store this thing." You can store a bed, too - in the bedroom.”

“I'm the only person who has ever found the right way to build an autobiography.”

“Oh!” said she, “I heard you before, but I could not immediately determine what to say in reply. You wanted me, I know, to say ‘Yes,’ that you might have the pleasure of despising my taste; but I always delight in overthrowing those kind of schemes, and cheating a person of their premeditated contempt.

“Special care should be taken of the health of the inhabitants, which will depend chiefly on the healthiness of the locality and of the quarter to which they are exposed, and secondly on the use of pure water; this latter point is by no means a secondary consideration. For the elements which we use the most and oftenest for the support of the body contribute most to health, and among those are water and air. Wherefore, in all wise states, if there is want of pure water, and the supply is not all equally good, the drinking water ought to be separated from that which is used for other purposes.”

“I'm at an age when my back goes out more than I do.”

“As the great ones of this world are unable to bestow health of body or peace of mind, we always pay too high a price for any good they can do.”
