| Peace by persuasion has a pleasant sound, but I think we should not be able to work it. We should have to tame the human race first, and history seems to show that that cannot be done. |
| Action speaks louder than words but not nearly as often. |
| History doesn't repeat itself, but it does rhyme. |
| It's better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than open it and remove all doubt. |
| If you don't read the newspaper, you are uninformed; if you do read the newspaper, you are misinformed. |
| All you need in this life is ignorance and confidence; then success is sure. |
| Never tell the truth to people who are not worthy of it. |
| Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. |
| Good friends, good books, and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life. |
| Never put off till tomorrow what may be done day after tomorrow just as well. |
