“There are two times in a man's life when he should not speculate: when he can't afford it, and when he can.”
“Sir, when a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford.”
“Why, Sir, you find no man, at all intellectual, who is willing to leave London. No, Sir, when a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford.”
“There are times when a man should be content with what he has but never with what he is”
“A man when he is making up to anybody can be cordial and gallant and full of little attentions and altogether charming. But when a man is really in love he can't help looking like a sheep.”
“A professional is a man who can do his job when he doesn't feel like it; an amateur is one who can't when he does feel like it. ”
