The sad events that occur in my life are the sad events that happen to everybody, with losing friends and family, but that is a natural occurrence, as natural as being born.

Actors are trusting souls, and we must go by gut-level instinct, even after our agents and business managers weigh all the odds.

Dear, never forget one little point. It's my business. You just work here.

It is clearly better that property should be private, but the use of it common; and the special business of the legislator is to create in men this benevolent disposition.
