Pity cost nothing and ain't worth nothing.

Don't mistake pleasure for happiness. They are a different breed of dogs.

Never work before breakfast. If you have to work before breakfast, get your breakfast first.

A good way I know to find happiness, is to not bore a hole to fit the plug.

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.

Don't take the bull by the horns, take him by the tail; then you can let go when you want to.

Wisdom has never made a bigot, but learning has.

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.

Incredulity is the wisdom of the fool.

If there was no faith there would be no living in this world. We could not even eat hash with any safety.
