It is an old maxim of mine that when you have excluded the impossible whatever remains however improbable must be the truth.

When you have eliminated the impossible whatever remains however improbable must be the truth.

It is only a man's own fundamental thoughts that have truth and life in them. For it is these that he really and completely understands. To read the thoughts of others is like taking the remains of someone else's meal like putting on the discarded clothes of a stranger.

Time is not a thing thus nothing which is and yet it remains constant in its passing away without being something temporal like the beings in time.

Television is a medium of entertainment which permits millions of people to listen to the same joke at the same time and yet remain lonesome.
