 How easy for those who do not bulge to not overindulge!

 I claim there ain't Another Saint As great as Valentine.

 I do not like to get the news, because there has never been an era when so many things were going so right for so many of the wrong persons.

 I don't mind their having a lot of money, and I don't care how they employ it, but I do think that they damn well ought to admit they enjoy it.

 I have a bone to pick with Fate / Come here and tell me, girlie, / Do you think my mind is maturing late,/ Or simply rotting early?

 I have an idea that the phrase 'weaker sex' was coined by some woman to disarm the man she was preparing to overwhelm.

 I hope my tongue in prune juice smothers, If I belittle dogs and mothers

 I prefer to forget both pairs of glasses and pass my declining years saluting strange women and grandfather clocks.

 I think remorse ought to stop biting the consciences that feed it.

 I think that I shall never see a billboard lovely as a tree. Indeed, unless the billboards fall, I'll never see a tree at all.

 I would live all my life in nonchalance and insouciance, Were it not for making a living, which is rather a nouciance.

 If called by a panther,/ don't anther.

 If you are really Master of your Fate, it shouldn't make any difference to you whether Cleopatra or the Bearded Lady is your mate.

 If you don't want to work you have to work to earn enough money so that you won't have to work

 In real life, it takes only one to make a quarrel.
