I Am Writing My Life

If You Want To Make People Laugh, Your Face Must Remain Serious.

There Is No Such Thing As Destiny. We Ourselves Shape Our Lives.

I Learned Very Early That Our Health Is Always Impaired By Some Excess Either Of Food Or Abstinence, And I Never Had Any Physician Except Myself.

If I Had Married A Woman Intelligent Enough To Guide Me, To Rule Me Without My Feeling That I Was Ruled, I Should Have Taken Good Care Of My Money, I Should Have Had Children, And I Should Not Be, As Now I Am, Alone In The World And Possessing Nothing.

My Errors Will Point To Thinking Men The Various Roads, And Will Teach Them The Great Art Of Treading On The Brink Of The Precipice Without Falling Into It.
