A short saying often contains much wisdom.

The older I get the more wisdom I find in the ancient rule of taking first things first. A process which often reduces the most complex human problem to a manageable proportion.

Repeat anything often enough and it will start to become you.

Wise sayings often fall on barren ground but a kind word is never thrown away.

When I celebrated my bar mitzvah there was no cake. Today there is no such thing as a bar mitzvah in the United States without a special cake. It can be even more complicated and expensive than a wedding cake because bar-mitzvah cakes are often based on a particular theme.

I think a lot of people who feel as though they desperately want to be married oftentimes simply desperately want to have a wedding.

War is evil but it is often the lesser evil.

It has too often been too easy for rulers and governments to incite man to war.

Buonaparte has often made his boast that our fleet would be worn out by keeping the sea and that his was kept in order and increasing by staying in port but know he finds I fancy if Emperors hear the truth that his fleet suffers more in a night than ours in one year.

There is nothing so powerful as truth and often nothing so strange.
