I have nothing to declare except my genius.

Work is the curse of the drinking classes.

True friends stab you in the front.

There are only two tragedies in life: one is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it.

We are each our own devil, and we make this world our hell.

The truth is rarely pure and never simple.

We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.

To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.

I can resist everything except temptation.

Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.

Always borrow money from a pessimist. He won’t expect it back.
