“Dey's some things I don't got to be told. I kin read them in folks' eyes.””

“If that ghost have money I tells him never to haunt you -- less'n he wants to lose it!””

“For de small stealing dey puts you in jail, soon or late. But for de big stealing dey puts yo' picture in de paper and yo' statue in de Hall of Fame when you croaks! If dey's one thing I learned in ten years, listenin' to de white quality on de Pullman cars, it's dat same fact. And when I gets a chance to use it -- from stowaway to Emperor in two years. Dat's goin' some!””
