gptkbp:famous_quote
|
A rich man is nothing but a poor man with money.
I am free of all prejudices. I hate everyone equally.
A woman drove me to drink and I didn't even have the decency to thank her.
" I am free of all prejudices. I hate everyone equally."
" I once spent a year in Philadelphia, I think it was on a Sunday."
" I never drink water. That is the stuff that rusts pipes."
" A rich man is nothing but a poor man with money."
" The best thing about a hole in the ground is that it’s a great place to put a man who’s in your way."
Never give a sucker an even break.
