A young man is a theory, an old man is a fact.
A theory is no more like a fact than a photograph is like a person.
When men are not regretting that life is so short, they are doing something to kill time.
The way out of trouble is never as simple as the way in.
All of the troubles that some people have in life is that which they married into.
