“Anything too stupid to be said is sung.”

“Illusion is the first of all pleasures.”

“It is better to risk saving a guilty man than to condemn an innocent one.”

“Be brief on the logic and reason portion of your presentation. There are probably about a thousand facts about an automobile, but you don't need them all to make a decision. About a half dozen will do.”

“The most valuable of all talents is that of never using two words when one will do.”

“Why need I volumes, if one word suffice?”

“I heard a guy tell me he liked cherries. I waited to hear if he was going to say "tomatoes", then I realized he like cherries just. That joke is ridiculous.”

“I got a king-sized bed. I don't know any kings, but if one came over, I guess he'd be comfortable.”

“Robinson had a servant even better than Friday: His name was Crusoe.”
