The summer night is like a perfection of thought.
Keep cool and you command everybody.
Nothing is more conducive to peace of mind than not having any opinions at all.
Three o'clock is always too late or too early for anything you want to do.
The moment we begin to fear the opinions of others and hesitate to tell the truth that is in us, and from motives of policy are silent when we should speak, the divine floods of light and life no longer flow into our souls.
It is better to offer no excuse than a bad one.
Oh, I don't blame Congress. If I had $600 billion at my disposal, I'd be irresponsible, too.
