A theory is a splendid way to
do a thing so long as you don't
try.
The first essential to being a
great man is for him to have no
doubt about it himself.
A man can cut down his
smoking and drinking if he's
sick abed and think he's dying.
The reason a woman says the
baby never cries at night is she
believes it lie never going to do

What satisfaction a woman
