I once had a rose named after me and I was very flattered. But I was not pleased to read the description in the catalogue: no good in a bed, but fine up against a wall.

I'm so glad I never feel important, it does complicate life!

People grow through experience if they meet life honestly and courageously. This is how character is built.

Life is what you make it. Always has been, always will be.

In business courtesy and efficiency have a symbiotic relationship.

You'll be damned if you do, and damned if you don't.

A stumbling block to the pessimist is a stepping-stone to the optimist.

Criticism ... makes very little dent upon me, unless I think there is some real justification and something should be done.
