I like to go to parties where I know everyone. How are you going to have fun with people you don’t know?

I know. I’m lazy. But I made myself a New Years resolution that I would write myself something really special. Which means I have ’til December, right?

At a dinner party one should eat wisely but not too well, and talk well but not too wisely.

If you are young and you drink a great deal it will spoil your health, slow your mind, make you fat – in other words, turn you into an adult.

Your success and happiness lies in you. Resolve to keep happy, and your joy and you shall form an invincible host against difficulties.

I never worry about being driven to drink I just worry about being driven home.

Going to a party, for me, is as much a learning experience as, you know, sitting in a lecture.
