"When you choose your friends, don't be short-changed by choosing personality over character."

"The common idea that success spoils people by making them vain, egotistic and self-complacent is erroneous; on the contrary it makes them, for the most part, humble, tolerant and kind."

"Impropriety is the soul of wit."

"I write only when inspiration strikes. Fortunately it strikes every morning at nine o'clock sharp."

"Only a mediocre person is always at his best."
