We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.

Experience is the name we all give to our mistakes.

The only thing worse in the world than being talked about is not being talked about.

Children begin by living their parents. After a time, they judge them; rarely if ever do they forgive them.

The old believe everything; the middleaged suspect everything; the young know everything.

IN THIS WORLD THERE ARE TWO TRAGEDIES; ONE IS NOT GETTING WHAT ONE WANTS, THE OTHER IS GETTING IT.

To get back one's youth, one merely has to repeat one's follies.

Young people nowadays assume that money is everything; and when they get older they know it.

It is better to have a permanent income than to be fascinating.

No man is ever rich enough to buy back his past.

A man cannot be too careful in his choice of enemies.

(Oscar Wilde)
