I am a showman by profession... and all the gilding shall make nothing else of me.

The noblest art is that of making others happy

Fortune always favors the brave, and never helps a man who does not help himself.

As we review our worries, we should make it a habit each day to God, "what is it I should focus on today"?

I'm going to die a virgin. I like the thought if it. So pure.
