QUOTES BY Samuel Goldwyn

The harder I work, the luckier I get.

Coffee isn't my cup of tea.

A verbal contract is worth about as much as the paper it's written on.

I'm willing to admit that I may not always be right, but I am never wrong.

I read part of it all the way through.

I don't think anyone should write their autobiography until after they're dead

If I could drop dead right now, I'd be the happiest man alive.

If I look confused it’s because I’m thinking.

I don't want any yes-men around me. I want everybody to tell me the truth even if it costs them their jobs.

I have been laid up with intentional flu.

Give me a smart idiot over a stupid genius any day.
