W. C. Fields was full of good observations, such as "There comes a time in the affairs of man when he must take the bull by the tail and face the situation."

It is said that when Fields was on his death bed, a friend visited him and found him leafing through a copy of the Bible. The friend observed that he was unaware that Fields was religious and was surprised at what he was reading. Fields responded:

"I'm looking for loop holes!"
