Ruminations of a meandering mind

The term "Goldwynism" is named after one Samuel Goldwyn(1882-1974) a US movie producer. He was known to be a lone wolf and survived for over thirty years in the movie industry. Goldwyn was known for his witty nature and some of his cracks have been publicized so much that they began to be coined by the term "Goldwynism". I enjoyed reading some of it but I am not aware if Goldwyn really made these himself or it just came to be known by this name. One must probably re-read the quotes a few times to get the humor.Some of his "supposedly made" gems are:

In two words: im-possible.

Gentlemen, include me out.

A hospital is no place to be sick.

Television has raised writing to a new low.

Don’t pay any attention to the critics. Don’t even ignore them.

Anyone who goes to a psychiatrist ought to have his head examined.

For every complex problem, there is a solution that is simple, neat, and wrong.

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

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 think luck is the sense to recognize an opportunity and the ability to take advantage of it. Everyone has bad breaks, but everyone also has opportunities. The man who can smile at his breaks and grab his chances gets on.

Never make forecasts, especially about the future.

I had a great idea this morning, but I didn't like it .

A verbal contract isn't worth the paper it's written on.

Spare no expense to make everything as economical as possible.
