The art of progress is to preserve order amid change and to preserve change amid order.

You don’t know what the hell you’re talking about! You’re crazy!

People say time heals all wounds. Let me tell you, time heals nothing. You can do the wrong thing for 10 years and it doesn’t equal the right thing for one day.

I was brought up to be a gentleman. That means you know how to walk, talk and dress the part.

I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use.

When I do good, I feel good; when I do bad, I feel bad, and that is my religion.

Heaven knows we need never be ashamed of our tears, for they are rain upon the blinding dust of earth, overlying our hard hearts. I was better after I had cried, than before–more sorry, more aware of my own ingratitude, more gentle.

Sometimes you’ve just gotta give yourself what you wish you were getting from someone else.

I don’t know anybody so old he can’t do something useful. Just give them a chance and see.

Some things have to be believed to be seen.

Power begins with having a crystal-clear view of reality and what each and every person in your life is driven by.

Patriotism is your conviction that this country is superior to all other countries because you were born in it.

Everything human is pathetic. The secret source of humor itself is not joy but sorrow. There is no humor in heaven.
