“What is perfectly true is perfectly witty.”

“He who cannot shine by thought, seeks to bring himself into notice by a witticism.”

“One problem with our current society is that we have an attitude towards education as if it is there to simply make you more clever, make you more ingenious... Even though our society does not emphasize this, the most important use of knowledge and education is to help us understand the importance of engaging in more wholesome actions and bringing about discipline within our minds. The proper utilization of our intelligence and knowledge is to effect changes from within to develop a good heart.”

“Brains are an asset to the woman in love who's smart enough to hide 'em.”

“There are two things I don't care how smart you are, you will never understand. One is an alienist's testimony, and the other is a railroad timetable.”
