"We bear, all of us, the misfortunes..." - Quote by Francois De La Rochefoucauld

“It is pointless for a woman to be young unless pretty, or to be pretty unless young.”

“Penetration has an air of divination; it pleases our vanity more than any other quality of the mind.”

“We promise according to our hopes and perform according to our fears.”

“Everyone gets their rough day. No one gets a free ride. Today so far, I had a good day. I got a dial tone.”

“When I got back into show business in 1961, I felt - for obvious reasons - that nothing in my life went right, and I realized that millions of people felt the same way. So when I first cameback my catch phrase was "nothing goes right." Early on, that was my setup for a lot of jokes.”

“Misfortunes one can endure--they come from outside, they are accidents. But to suffer for one's own faults--ah!--there is the sting of life.”

“No matter how explicit the pledge, people will turn and twist the text to suit their own purpose”

“when the human race is not grotesque it is because it is asleep and losing its opportunity.”

“Our problem is not that we desire too much but too little.”
