That is ever the way. Tis all jealousy to the bride and good wishes to the corpse.

We are all failures at least, all the best of us are.

Every man who is high up likes to think he has done it all himself; and the wife smiles, and lets it go at that. It's our only joke. Every woman knows that.

His lordship may compel us to be equal upstairs, but there will never be equality in the servants' hall.

Every time a child says I don't believe in fairies there is a fairy somewhere that falls down dead.

I'm not young enough to know everything.

The moment you doubt whether you can fly, you cease for ever to be able to do it.

We are all failures - at least the best of us are.

Every man who is high up likes to think that he has done it all himself and the wife smiles and lets it go at that.

Shall we make a new rule of life from tonight always to try to be a little kinder than is necessary

The moment you doubt whether you can fly you cease for ever to be able to do it.

I was a good student. I was lame. I was into school and didn't really go out much, so I guess I wasn't the coolest person on the planet.

I've had times in my life when I really haven't been able to figure myself out.

Hollywood is a roulette wheel. Each project dictates what's going to happen for you next, and it doesn't really matter that your project is critically acclaimed or won awards or has fans worldwide. It's a matter of how many movie tickets and DVDs and on-demand movies that you sell.
