Love like Death,, Levels all ranks, and lays the shepherd's crook Beside the scepter

Men who make money rarely saunter; men who save money rarely swagger.

There is no such thing as luck. It's a fancy name for being always at our duty, and so sure to be ready when good time comes.

In life, as in art, the beautiful moves in curves.

Nothing ages like laziness.
