Good judgment comes from experience, and experience comes from bad judgment.

We animals live life in all its glorious uncertainty. Why do politicians think they can control events?

There hasn't been a day in my life since I started Latin in ninth grade that I haven't benefited by the lives of the ancients.

I have no idea what will come next in my writing life or life in general. I like not knowing, but I know what I want. That doesn't mean it will happen, but I'll give it my best try.

I've met many irresponsible people in my life but never an irresponsible cat.

Life is too short to be miserable.

Political elections are not life and death.

I believe in a lively disrespect for most forms of authority.

A life of reaction is a life of slavery, intellectually and spiritually. One must fight for a life of action, not reaction.

Every action is either strong or weak, and when every action is strong we are successful.

Humor comes from self-confidence.

One of the keys to happiness is a bad memory.
