“The British press hate a winner who's British. They don't like any British man to have balls as big as a cow's like I have.”
“If the humanism that makes civilization civilized is to be preserved into the new century, it will need advocates. These advocates will need a memory, and part of that memory will need to be of an age in which they were not yet alive.”

“I feel, as never before, how justly, from the dawn of history to the present time, men have paid the homage of their gratitude and admiration to the memory of those who nobly sacrifice their lives, that their fellow-men may live in safety and in honor.”

“By the time I was 22, I was a professional. A young and flawed professional, but not an amateur.”
“It is important to reclaim for humanity the ground that has been taken from it by various arbitrarily narrow formulations of the demands of rationality”
“The search for a new personality is futile; what is fruitful is the interest the old personality can take in new activities.”
“I have known men who thought the object of conversion was to cleanse them as a garment is cleansed, and that when they are converted they were to be hung up in the Lord's wardrobe, the door of which was to be shut, so that no dust could get at them. A coat that is not used the moths eat; and a Christian who is hung up so that he shall not be tempted, the moths eat him; and they have poor food at that.”
“If you really want to get along with somebody, let them be themselves.”
