W. C. Fields
First prize was a week in Philadelphia. Second prize was two weeks.
W. C. Fields
To me, these biblical stories are just so many fish stories, and I'm not specifically referring to Jonah and the whale. I need indisputable proof of anything I'm asked to believe.
W. C. Fields
I must have a drink of breakfast.
W. C. Fields
The only thing a lawyer won't question is the legitimacy of his mother.
W. C. Fields
Never work with animals or children.
