John Churton Collins

In prosperity, our friends know us; in adversity, we know our friends.

If we knew each other's secrets, what comforts we should find.

Never claim as a right what you can ask as a favor.

Realistically speaking, I don't know how many more years I will want to be acting or will be invited to be.

Why do men fight who were born to be brothers?

I was good at being a doctor; my patients liked me. At times people trust you with things they wouldn't tell their spouses. It was a real privilege.
