Prolonged statistics are a lethal dose, which if it does not kill will certainly dispel your audience.

Next to a good meal and possibly a long night's sleep the greatest morale builder ... is clothes.

Intellect alone is a dry and rattling thing.

To me travel is triple delight: anticipation, performance, and recollection.
