To Destroy Is Still The Strongest Instinct

There Is Laughter That Goes So Far As To Lose All Touch With Its Motive, And To Exist Only, Grossly, In Itself. This Is Laughter At Its Best. A Man To Whom Such Laughter Has Often Been Granted May Happen To Die In A Work-house. No Matter. I Will Not Admit That He Has Failed In Life. Another Man, Who Has Never Laughed Thus, May Be Buried In Westminster Abbey, Leaving More Than A Million Pounds Overhead. What Then? I Regard Him As A Failure.

Humility Is A Virtue, And It Is A Virtue Innate In Guests.

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.

I Prefer That Laughter Shall Take Me Unawares. Only So Can It Master And Dissolve Me.

Pessimism Does Win Us Great Happy Moments.
