"Old-fashioned people think you can have a soul without money. They think the less money you have, the more soul you have. Young people nowadays know better. A soul is a very expensive thing to keep: much more so than a motor car."

"England and America are two countries separated by the same language."

"My way of joking is to tell the truth. It's the funniest joke in the world."

"Liberty means responsibility. That is why most men dread it."
