Nothing fixes a thing so intensely in the memory as the wish to forget it.

My way of joking is to tell the truth. It is the funniest joke in the world.

We all have strength enough to endure the misfortunes of others.

The nice part about being a pessimist is that you are constantly being either proven right or pleasantly surprised.

The only thing that overcomes hard luck is hard work.
