F
Misquotation is, in fact, the pride and privilege of the learned. A widely-read man never quotes accurately, for the rather obvious reason that he has read too widely.

R
When people are old enough to know better they are old enough to do worse.
A
Misquotations are the only quotations that are never misquoted.
N
A man's character never changes radically from youth to old age. What happens is that circumstances bring out characteristics which have not been obvious to the superficial observer.
K
There is no stronger craving in the world than that of the rich for titles, except that of the titled for riches.
