What I like about the Order of the Garter is that there is no damned merit about it.

Be not over solicitous about education. It may be able to do much, but it does not do as much as expected from it. It may mould and direct the character, but it rarely alters it.

Neither man nor woman can be worth anything until they have discovered that they are fools. The sooner the discovery is made the better, as there is more time and power for taking advantage of it.

Nobody ever did anything very foolish except from some strong principle.

That is no use at all. What I want is men who will support me when I am in the wrong.

It doesn't matter what we say , so long as we all say the same thing.

It is not much matter which we say, but mind, we must all say the same.

What all the wise men promised has not happened and what all the dammed fools said would happen has come to pass.

While I cannot be regarded as a pillar, I must be regarded as a buttress of the church, because I support it from outside.

I wish I was as cocksure of anything as Tom Macaulay is of everything.

A doctrinaire is a fool but an honest man.

I just found this world a hard place to be good in, ’ says Bunny, then he closes his eyes and, with an expiration of breath, goes still.

The business of wretches is wretched even in guarantee giving.

The first time I tried to write was when I was 14, after I got an electric guitar. I put a song together, and it wasn't that bad! The writing came natural to me.

The ball gave me prestige, gave me fame, gave me riches. Thank you, my old friend.

I'm so busy trying to be other people. You start acting just as soon as you walk into the door of that casting office. You can't just be yourself because they don't want to hire you.

With no pretensions of art, Viva Las Vegas, the new Elvis Presley vehicle, is about as pleasant and unimportant as a Banana Split.

When I was 24, I was full of life. I was that ham who wanted to be famous, a movie star, all that stuff. I think it's cool. But it was not what I was searching for, really. It was more a delusion.

I pretty much work all the time.

Mrs. Clinton's policies, which are an echo of Barack Obama's policies, are gonna continue to wreak havoc and damage on America's minorities.

America is far and away superior to every other place on earth, in terms of lifestyles, liberty, and freedom. In terms of the human condition, there's no place like it.
