I've had a perfectly wonderful evening. But this wasn't it.

Behind every successful man is a woman, behind her is his wife.

She got her looks from her father. He's a plastic surgeon.

Marry me and I'll never look at another horse!

Why, I'd horse-whip you if I had a horse.

I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it.

Anyone who says he can see through women is missing a lot.

Room service? Send up a larger room.

Women should be obscene and not heard.

Well, Art is Art, isn't it? Still, on the other hand, water is water. And east is east and west is west and if you take cranberries and stew them like applesauce they taste much more like prunes than rhubarb does. Now you tell me what you know.

I have had a perfectly wonderful evening, but this wasn't it.

I remember the first time I had sex - I kept the receipt.

I'm not feeling very well - I need a doctor immediately. Ring the nearest golf course.

I've got the brain of a four year old. I'll bet he was glad to be rid of it.

From the moment I picked your book up until I laid it down, I was convulsed with laughter. Someday I intend reading it.

The first thing which I can record concerning myself is, that I was born. These are wonderful words. This life, to which neither time nor eternity can bring diminution - this everlasting living soul, began. My mind loses itself in these depths.

I worked my way up from nothing to a state of extreme poverty.

I must say I find television very educational. The minute somebody turns it on, I go to the library and read a good book.

Politics doesn't make strange bedfellows - marriage does.

One morning I shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he got into my pajamas I'll never know.

I didn't like the play, but then I saw it under adverse conditions - the curtain was up.

My favourite poem is the one that starts 'Thirty days hath September' because it actually tells you something.
