“Do not save your loving speeches for your friends till they are dead. Do not write them on their tombstones, speak them rather now instead.”
“What will you do with your accomplishments? What, with the largest portion of your mind - sentiments - tastes?"Save them till they are wanted. They will keep.”
“Do good to your friends to keep them,to your enemies to win them.”
“Writing is like sex. First you do it for love, then you do it for your friends, and then you do it for money.”
“I loved words. I love to sing them and speak them and even now, I must admit, I have fallen into the joy of writing them.”
“Treat your friends as you do your pictures, and place them in their best light.”
