Christopher Morley

A man who has never made a woman angry is a failure in life.

In every man's heart there is a secret nerve that answers to the vibrations of beauty.

Humor is perhaps a sense of intellectual perspective: an awareness that some things are really important, others not; and that the two kinds are most oddly jumbled in everyday affairs.

Beauty is ever to the lonely mind a shadow fleeting; she is never plain. She is a visitor who leaves behind the gift of grief, the souvenir of pain.

Big shots are only little shots who keep shooting.

There are three ingredients in the good life: learning, earning and yearning.

A book is a cathedral of words.

There is only one success—to be able to spend your life in your own way.
