“In most cases, people, even the most vicious, are much more naive and simple-minded than we assume them to be. And this is true of ourselves too.”

“I drink much less than most people think, and I think much more than most people would believe.”

“I have written much less than most people who write; I have drunk much more than most people who drink.”

“Most of the people are placing too much emphasis of their happiness on price, rather than on value.”

“Our minds can come up with the most entertaining possibilities, if we let them. But most of the time, we keep them under far too close a check.”

“Most people, even in simple risky situations, don't behave the way the theory of utility would have them behave.”

“Most of the people I admire, they usually smell funny and don't get out much. It's true. Most of them are either dead or not feeling well.”

“Most people choose movies that provide exactly what they expect, and tell them things they already know. Others are more curious. We are put on this planet only once, and to limit ourselves to the familiar is a crime against our minds.”

“I think we have much more to say about what happens to us than most people believe.”

“For if vicious propensity is, as it were, a disease of the soul like bodily sickness, even as we account the sick in body by no means deserving of hate, but rather of pity, so, and much more, should they be pitied whose minds are assailed by wickedness, which is more frightful than any sickness.”
