• El mejor misil del mundo es inútil... a menos que se le apunte. Un torpedo va a la deriva si no tiene adónde ir. Una flecha es inútil a menos que dé en algo. Por eso es importante para los niños -para todos, incluso si fallas al principio- apuntar a algo y dirigirse en esa dirección. Con todas tus fuerzas.

• Indeed, ask every man separately whether he thinks it laudable and worthy of a man of this age to hold a position from which he receives a salary disproportionate to his work; to take from the people--often in poverty--taxes to be spent on constructing cannon, torpedoes, and other instruments of butchery, so as to make war on people with whom we wish to be at peace, and who feel the same wish in regard to us; or to receive a salary for devoting one's whole life to constructing these instruments of butchery, or to preparing oneself and others for the work of murder.

• Many risks fail because they were not taken in time. Too many risks are postponed until unnecessarily elaborate preparations are made. This does not mean that one should say, Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead! That is foolish and self-destructive. . . . But don't sit back waiting for the perfect moment. It almost never comes.

• In the past I've had public feuds with people, and I have really not benefited from any of them. The feud with Eminem did kind of torpedo my career in the United States, but it also introduced me to Middle America in a way I never could have conceived of.

• Para mí, la desnudez es una broma. Los desnudos no me parecen nada atractivos. Me gustan las mujeres completamente vestidas. Me gusta imaginar lo que puede haber ahí debajo. Puede que no sea lo normal. Imagínate, desnudar a una mujer, y que tenga un cuerpo como un pequeño submarino. Con periscopio, hélices, torpedos. Eso sería para mí. Me casaría con ella y le sería fiel hasta el final.

• For me, it's a bigger challenge, it's much harder to do and much more rewarding to do well, then just to think up stuff of your own, hit or miss, because you've got to see to it that you don't torpedo any of his punch lines.

• Other men puffed, snorted, and splashed. George passed through the ocean with the silent dignity of a torpedo. Other men swallowed water, here a mouthful, there a pint, anon, maybe, a quart or so, and returned to the shore like foundering derelicts. George's mouth had all the exclusiveness of a fashionable club. His breast stroke was a thing to see and wonder at. When he did the crawl, strong men gasped. When he swam on his back, you felt that that was the only possible method of progression.

• If the submarines, the aerial torpedoes, the poison gas, the liquid fire, the long-distance guns, the hand grenades, the trench mortars, and all the other things injure without killing them, they are sent back again and again after being patched up until they are killed.
