Death is a very dull, dreary affair, and my advice to you is to have nothing whatsoever to do with it.
From W. Somerset Maugham
Tradition is a guide and not a jailer.
Like all weak men he laid an exaggerated stress on not changing one's mind.
We learn resignation not by our own suffering, but by the suffering of others.
There is no explanation for evil. It must be looked upon as a necessary part of the order of the universe. To ignore it is childish, to bewail it senseless.
It is salutary to train oneself to be no more affected by censure than by praise.
It's a funny thing about life; if you refuse to accept anything but the best, you very often get it.
Money is the string with which a sardonic destiny directs the motions of its puppets.
Any nation that thinks more of its ease and comfort than its freedom will soon lose its freedom; and the ironical thing about it is that it will lose its ease and comfort too.
You are not angry with people when you laugh at them. Humor teaches tolerance.
