» Death and Dying » “A person doesn’t die when he should but when he can.”
» Fathers » “A man knows when he is growing old because he begins to look like his father.”
» Husbands » “An early-rising man… a good spouse but a bad husband.”
» Marriage » “The problem with marriage is that it ends every night after making love, and it must be rebuilt every morning before breakfast.”
» Medicine » “Injections are the best thing ever invented for feeding doctors.”
» Memory » “The heart’s memory eliminates the bad and magnifies the good.”
» Necessity » “Necessity has the face of a dog.”
» Procrastination » “He who awaits much can expect little.”
» Riches » “No, not rich. I am a poor man with money, which is not the same thing.”
» Writers and Writing » “Ultimately, literature is nothing but carpentry. With both you are working with reality, a material just as hard as wood.”
