Just remember, once you're over the hill you begin to pick up speed.

The fly ought to be used as the symbol of impertinence and audacity; for whilst all other animals shun man more than anything else, and run away even before he comes near them, the fly lights upon his very nose.

The reason domestic pets are so lovable and so helpful to us is because they enjoy, quietly and placidly, the present moment.

In many cases hate a person is rooted in the involuntary estimate of its virtues.

Because people have no thoughts to deal in, they deal cards, and try and win one another's money. Idiots!

If a man sets out to hate all the miserable creatures he meets, he will not have much energy left for anything else; whereas he can despise them, one and all, with the greatest ease.

The greatest of follies is to sacrifice health for any other kind of happiness.
