People are too durable, that’s their main trouble. They can do too much to themselves, they last too long.

What is the robbing of a bank compared to the founding of a bank?
No one can be good for long if goodness is not in demand.
It is easier to rob by setting up a bank than by holding up a bank clerk.
Whenever there are great virtues, it’s a sure sign something’s wrong.
Why be a man when you can be a success?
War is like love; it always finds a way.
One forgets too easily the difference between a man and his image, and that there is none between the sound of his voice on the screen and in real life.
Don’t be afraid of death so much as an inadequate life.
The defeats and victories of the fellows at the top aren’t always defeats and victories for the fellows at the bottom.
