Why did God make so many dumb fools and Democrats? Picture Quote #1

Why did God make so many dumb fools and Democrats Picture Quote #1

Never before have self-suffiency and education been so important, and they are virtually inseparable from survival Picture Quote #1

A word of advice: If you get the choice between the upper and lower bunks in a cell, choose the lower. Prisons do not turn off their lights at night, and I spent a sleepless night, without a mattress, with a five-hundred-watt bulb shining directly into my eyes Picture Quote #1

There is only one purpose in hand-to-hand combat, and that is to kill. Never face an enemy with the idea of knocking him out. The chances are extremely good that he will kill you Picture Quote #1

Unfortunately, or perhaps it is fortunate that I have always been forced to stand on my acting ability. I haven’t a personality such as Jack Gilbert’s, for instance, that attracts women and makes them like me for myself. When I am on the screen I must make them forget me entirely and think only of my acting Picture Quote #1

Cultivate solitude and quiet and a few sincere friends, rather than mob merriment, noise and thousands of nodding acquaintances Picture Quote #1

I highly recommend worrying. It is much more effective than dieting Picture Quote #1

A government creates its own revolution. There can be no revolt without it Picture Quote #1

It has got to the point in this country where men believe they are men, just because that is their birthright. If that is true, then, by the same logic, an animal held captive in a zoo is still a free wild beast Picture Quote #1

Prison does strange things to men. Although its purpose is to break the free spirit of a man, in many cases it just adds fuel to the fire that has never been and will never be extinguished Picture Quote #1

Have you noticed that the people who actually make the laws, the people in power, never make laws for themselves? Picture Quote #1

If a man is to be a man, a free spirit unto himself, he must arm himself not only with weapons but with ideals and concepts he is willing to die for Picture Quote #1

It seems acceptable today to scream for revolution, without any concept of what will follow it. This is just what the forces at large want, for who will follow a man who doesn’t know where he’s going? Picture Quote #1

Treat any and all drugs with respect, for most of the time they are stronger than you are Picture Quote #1

My friends have stood by me marvelously in the ups and downs of my career. I don’t believe there is anything more worthwhile in life than friendship. Friendship is a far better thing than love, as it is commonly accepted Picture Quote #1

I do not hold that because the author did a bad job of writing the player need trump it with the same kind of acting. When I go into a picture I have only one character to look after. If the author didn’t do him justice, I try to add whatever the creator of the part overlooked Picture Quote #1

I have never gone into a picture without first studying my characterization from all angles. I make a study of the fellow’s life and try to learn everything about him, including the conditions under which he came into this world, his parentage, his environment, his social status, and the things in which he is interested. Then I attempt to get his mental attitude as much as possible Picture Quote #1

Power is not a material possession that can be given, it is the ability to act. Power must be taken, it is never given Picture Quote #1

Dessert is probably the most important stage of the meal, since it will be the last thing your guests remember before they pass out all over the table Picture Quote #1
