All Fantasy Should Have A Solid Base

Most Women Are Not As Young As They Are Painted.

To Give And Then Not Feel That One Has Given Is The Very Best Of All Ways Of Giving.

Few, As I Have Said, Are The Humorists Who Can Induce This State. To Master And Dissolve Us, To Give Us The Joy Of Being Worn Down And Tired Out With Laughter, Is A Success To Be Won By No Man Save In Virtue Of A Rare Staying-power. Laughter Becomes Extreme Only If It Be Consecutive. There Must Be No Pauses For Recovery. Touch-and-go Humour, However Happy, Is Not Enough. The Jester Must Be Able To Grapple His Theme And Hang On To It, Twisting It This Way And That, And Making It Yield Magically All Manner Of Strange And Precious Things.

You Cannot Make A Man By Standing A Sheep On Its Hind-legs. But By Standing A Flock Of Sheep In That Position You Can Make A Crowd Of Men.

Anything That Is Worth Doing Has Been Done Frequently. Things Hitherto Undone Should Be Given, I Suspect, A Wide Berth.
