I finally know what distinguishes man from the beasts: financial worries.

Failure is not the only punishment for laziness; there is also the success of others.

I am not sincere, not even when I say I am not.

Be modest! It is the kind of pride least likely to offend.

The only man who is really free is the one who can turn down an invitation to dinner without giving any excuse.

Look for the ridiculous in everything and you find it.

I find that when I do not think of myself I do not think at all.

Writing is the only profession where no one considers you ridiculous if you earn no money.

The truly free man is he who knows how to decline a dinner invitation without giving an excuse.

The idea of calm exists in a sitting cat.
