I hope to keep entertaining in some way until I can't physically entertain any longer. It's what I was born to do, and I love this profession.

I had a million questions to ask God: but when I met Him, they all fled my mind and it didn't seem to matter.

Christopher Morley

Concern should drive us into action and not into a depression. No man is free who cannot control himself.

Pythagoras

We have to speak the truth always, at any cost, and no matter what.

Samael Aun Weor

There is a growing strength in women, but it's in the forehead, not in the forearm.

Beverly Sills

I have found that a smile and a stick will carry you through all right, and in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred it is the smile that does the trick.

Robert Powell

The salesman knows nothing of what he is selling save that he is charging a great deal too much for it.

Oscar Wilde

To save the theatre, the theatre must be destroyed, the actors and actresses must all die of the plague. They poison the air, they make art impossible. It is not drama that they play, but pieces for the theatre. We should return to the Greeks, play in the open air; the drama dies of stalls and boxes and evening dress, and people who come to digest their dinner.

Eleanor Duse

A man who is not born with the novel-writing gift has a troublesome time of it when he tries to build a novel. I know this from experience. He has no clear idea of his story; in fact he has no story. He merely has some people in his mind, and an incident or two, also a locality, and he trusts he can plunge those people into those incidents with interesting results. So he goes to work. To write a novel? No--that is a thought which comes later; in the beginning he is only proposing to tell a little tale, a very little tale, a six-page tale. But as it is a tale which he is not acquainted with, and can only find out what it is by listening as it goes along telling itself, it is more than apt to go on and on and on till it spreads itself into a book. I know about this, because it has happened to me so many times.

Mark Twain

All things human hang by a slender thread; and that which seemed to stand strong suddenly falls and sinks in ruins.

Ovid

And suddenly, like light in darkness, the real truth broke in upon me; the simple fact of Man, which I had forgotten, which had lain deep buried and out of sight; the idea of community, of unity.

Ernst Toller

The consumer isn't a moron. She is your wife.

David Ogilvy

It's a lazy Saturday afternoon, there's a couple lying naked in bed reading Encyclopediea Brittannica to each other, and arguing about whether the Andromeda Galaxy is more 'numinous' than the Ressurection. Do they know how to have a good time, or don't they?
