A woman is like a tea bag; you never know how strong it is until it’s in hot water.

If you are born poor its not your mistake, But if you die poor its your mistake.

Ignore all hatred and criticism. Live for what you create, and die protecting it.

We are all alone, born alone, die alone, and — in spite of True Romance magazines — we shall all someday look back on our lives and see that, in spite of our company, we were alone the whole way. I do not say lonely — at least, not all the time — but essentially, and finally, alone. This is what makes your self-respect so important, and I don’t see how you can respect yourself if you must look in the hearts and minds of others for your happiness.

Those who love deeply never grow old; they may die of old age, but they die young.

The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.
