 I don't care how much a man talks, if he only says it in a few words.

 I hate to be a kicker, I always long for peace, but the wheel that does the squeaking is the one that gets the grease

 I have lived in this world just long enough to look carefully the second time into things that I am most certain of the first time.

 I haven't got as much money as some folks, but I've got as much impudence as any of them, and that's the next thing to money.

 I hold that a man has as much right to spell a word as it is pronounced as he has to pronounce it the way it ain't spelled

 I honestly believe it is better tew know nothing than tew know what ain't so

 I think when the full horror of being fifty hits you, you should stay home and have a good cry.

 I've never known a person to live to be one hundred and be remarkable for anything else

 If a man is too right he can't be too radical; if he is wrong, he can't be too conservative

 If a man should happen to reach perfection in this world, he would have to die immediately to enjoy himself.

 If it wasn't for faith, there would be no living in this world; we couldn't even eat hash with any safety.

 If you ever find happiness by hunting for it, you will find it, as the old woman did her lost spectacles, safe on her own nose all the time.

 Incredulity is the wisdom of the fool

 It is a statistical fact that the wicked work harder to reach hell than the righteous do to enter heaven

 It is better to know nothing than to know what ain't so.
