 A tramp, a gentleman, a poet, a dreamer, a lonely fellow, always hopeful of romance and adventure. |
| We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that. We want to live by each other's happiness, not by each other's misery. |
| What do you want a meaning for? Life is a desire, not a meaning. |

| I am at peace with God. My conflict is with Man. |
| I do not have much patience with a thing of beauty that must be explained to be understood. If it does need additional interpretation by someone other than the creator, then I question whether it has fulfilled its purpose. |
| I remain just one thing, and one thing only, and that is a clown. It places me on a far higher plane than any politician. |

| Nothing is permanent in this wicked world - not even our troubles. |
| Words are cheap. The biggest thing you can say is 'elephant'. |
| Brunettes are troublemakers. They're worse than the Jews. |
| To truly laugh, you must be able to take your pain, and play with it! |
| Laughter is the tonic, the relief, the surcease for pain. |
| I have no further use for America. I wouldn't go back there if Jesus Christ was President. |
