“The stars awaken a certain reverence, because though always present, they are inaccessible.”

“He who loves the bristle of bayonets only sees in the glitter what beforehand he feels in his heart. It is avarice and hatred; it is that quivering lip, that cold, hating eye, which built magazines and powder-houses.”

“New York is a sucked orange.”

“Swimming is not a sport. Swimming is a way to keep from drowning. That's just common sense!”

“Nothing astonishes men so much as common sense and plain dealing.”

“The art of governing consists simply of being honest, exercising common sense, following principle, and doing what is right and just.”

“If the shoe fits, buy another one just like it.”

“Don’t ever underestimate the importance of money. I know it’s often been said that money won’t make you happy and this is undeniably true, but everything else being equal, it’s a lovely thing to have around the house.”

“As a nation, we may take pride in the fact that we are softhearted; but we cannot afford to be soft-headed.”
