On justice: "Jesus Christ in the Jimson weed, damned if they don't expect the law to protect them from themselves-from confidence games, whorehouses, intoxicating liquor after Saturday midnight . . . and their own walking shadows." On sex: "A man ought to have two women, one for bed and one to see the Haviland china don't get chipped." On finance: "It ain't natural for money to breed . . . You get too much...
