Bread that must be sliced with an axe is bread that is too nourishing.

Nothing lasts. So it's my belief, yes, I know a lot of the things that we liked didn't last, but maybe things we don't like, they're also not going to last. There has been progress in my lifetime. There are certainly things that are better than when I was young, and there are things that are worse. New York City, it's worse. There's no question.

I love sleep because it is both pleasant and safe to use. Pleasant because one is in the best possible company and safe because sleep is the consummate protection against the unseemliness that is the invariable consequence of being awake. What you don't know won't hurt you. Sleep is death without the responsibility.

Tolerance is really a better thing than understanding. Because it doesn't agitate against human nature.

People have been cooking and eating for thousands of years, so if you are the very first to have thought of adding fresh lime juice to scalloped potatoes try to understand that there must be a reason for this.

Breakfast cereals that come in the same colors as polyester leisure suits make oversleeping a virtue.

Nature is by and large to be found out of doors, a location where, it cannot be argued, there are never enough comfortable chairs.
