"The secret of contentment," said Simon Templar oratorically, "is to take things as they come." ("The green goods man")
Simon Templar's mail, like that of any other celebrity, was a thing of infinite variety. ("The charitable countess")
The stout jovial gentleman in the shapeless suit pulled a card out of his wallet and pushed it across the table. ("The mugs' game")
"One of these days," said Simon Templar lazily, "when I decide to become Dictator of the Universe, I shall issue a law for the protection of men's names." ("The unkind philanthropist")
One of Simon Templar's stock criticisms of the classic type of detective story is that the victim of the murder, the reluctant spark-plug of all the entertaining mystery and strife, is usually a mere nonentity who wanders vaguely through the first few pages with the sole purpose of becoming a convenient body in the library by the end of Chapter One. ("The arrow of God")
