"A man must pay the fiddler, in my case it so happened that a whole symphony orchestra often had to be subsidized" — John Barrymore

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out

Nothing ever comes to one, that is worth having, except as a result of hard work

The duty of comedy is to correct men by amusing them

Life consists not in holding good cards but in playing those you hold well.

Life grants nothing to us mortals without hard work.

Duty is ours; results are God's
