“Have I played the part well? Then applaud as I exit.”

You cheer my heart, who build as if Rome would be eternal.

I am a man of my word.

Make haste cautiously.

Better a cautious commander, and not a rash one.

To seek to keep the established constitution unchanged argues a good citizen and a good man.

If you want rainbow, you have to deal with the rain.

I’d always thought the world was a wish-granting factory.

Keep our marriage alive, and farewell.

Everyone wants to lead an extraordinary life.

Behold them, conquerors of the world, the toga-clad race of Romans!

Just as men must give up economic control when their wives share the responsibility for the family’s financial well-being, women must give up exclusive parental control when their husbands assume more responsibility for child care.

The greatest impediments to changes in our traditional roles seem to lie not in the visible world of conscious intent, but in the murky realm of the unconscious mind.

We get death threats, kidnapping threats. The press criticizes my weight. It’s just the English way.

Many men on the point of an edifying death would be furious if they were suddenly restored to health.

I don’t think any person in America should die because they are too poor to live.

Live as tho death is not the inevitable end.
