The joy of money lies less in what one does than in what one might do.
Where some has failed, more rarely succeeds.
Some who earn thousands of times your income don’t deserve it, which is bad; and some do, which is worse.
The worse the government, the longer the speeches.
If suffering ennobles, does joy degrade?
People are confused; it does not follow that the universe is paradoxical.
If you aren’t supposed to use people, what do you do with them?
What surrounds sex is serious: sex itself is ridiculous.
Abroad we make our soldiers pretend to be policemen, and at home we let our policemen pretend to be soldiers.
Marriages survive not on love but admiration.
