Joseph Addison

Men may change their climate, but they cannot change their nature. A man that goes out a fool cannot ride or sail himself into common sense.

Admiration is a very short-lived passion, that immediately decays upon growing familiar with its object.

There is nothing which we receive with so much reluctance as advice.

I make movies for me and posterity. I'm more scared of history than I am of the studio.

I would fain grow old learning many things.
