[Dedication]

"To my daughter Leonora without whose never failing sympathy and encouragement this book would have been finished in half the time."

P.G. Wodehouse

True, I’ve been a long time making up my mind, but now I’m giving you a definite answer. I won’t say yes, and I won’t say no — but I’m giving you a definite maybe.

Samuel Goldwyn

Too bad that all the people who know how to run the country are busy driving taxicabs and cutting hair.

George Burns

Give a man a match, and he'll be warm for a minute, but set him on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.

Unknown

Before you judge a man, walk a mile in his shoes. After that, who cares? ...He's a mile away and you've got his shoes.

Billy Connolly
