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

  • It is not true that suffering ennobles the character happiness does that sometimes, but suffering for the most part, makes men petty and vindictive.

  • If a nation values anything more than freedom, it will lose its freedom, and the irony of it is that if it is comfort or money that it values more, it will lose that too.

  • Money is the string with which a sardonic destiny directs the motions of its puppets.

  • Money is like a sixth sense without which you cannot make a complete use of the other five.
