“You get into trouble the way debutantes get into ball gowns.”
“Don't wait for the ball to come to you, go out and get the ball.”
“There's one good thing about getting in trouble: It seems like you do it in steps. It seems like you don't just end up in trouble but that you kind of ease yourself into it. It also seems like the worse the trouble is that you get into, the more steps it takes to get there. Sort of like you're getting a bunch of little warnings on the way; sort of like if you really wanted to you could turn around.”
“Getting out of bed is a good way to leave your troubles behind.”
“A smile is the best way to get away with trouble even if it’s a fake one.”
“You can get in way more trouble with a good idea than a bad idea, because you forget that the good idea has limits.”
