[epitaph] "I had a lover's quarrel with the world"
The brain is a wonderful organ; it starts working the moment you get up in the morning and does not stop until you get to the office.
A liberal is a man too broadminded to take his own side in a quarrel.
A diplomat is a man who always remembers a woman's birthday but never
remembers her age.
At bottom the world isn't a joke. We only joke about it to avoid an issue with someone, to let someone know that we know he's there with his questions; to disarm him by seeming to have heard and done justice to his side of the the standing argument.
You've got to love what's lovable, and hate what's hateable. It takes brains to see the difference.
Good fences make good neighbors.
Happiness makes up in height for what it lacks in length.
Home-the place where, when you go there, they have to take you in.
The reason worry kills more people than work is that more people worry than work.
Poetry is about the grief. Politics is about the grievance.
