W. Somerset Maugham
  • Any nation that thinks more of its ease and comfort than its freedom will soon lose its freedom and the ironical thing about it is that it will lose its ease and comfort too.

  • There are two good things in life - freedom of thought and freedom of action.

  • When you choose your friends, don't be short-changed by choosing personality over character.

  • It's a funny thing about life if you refuse to accept anything but the best, you very often get it.

  • Marriage is a very good thing, but I think it's a mistake to make a habit out of it.
