Nothing is ever done in this world until men are prepared to kill one another if it is not done.

Usually I enjoy a first night as a surgeon enjoys an operation: this time I enjoyed it as a playgoer enjoys a pleasant performance.

You know well I couldn't bear to live with a low common man after you two; and it's wicked and cruel of you to insult me by pretending I could.

One man that has a mind and knows it can always beat ten men who haven't and don't.

Home life is no more natural to us than a cage is natural to a cockatoo.

My experience is that one's pleasures don't bear thinking about.

Decency cannot be discussed without indecency!
