The happiest miser on earth is the man who saves up every friend he can make.

Quotes from the same author

To be able to write a play a man must be sensitive, imaginative, naive, gullible, passionate; he must be something of an imbecile, something of a poet, something of a liar, something of a damn fool.
 Robert E. Sherwood

 Robert E. Sherwood
