Have you ever been going somewhere with a crowd and you're certain it's the wrong road and you tell them, but they won't listen, so you just have to plod along in what you know is the wrong direction till somebody more important gets the same idea?

You will have Time, that rare and lovely gift that your Western countries have lost the more they have pursued it.

There's only one thing more important... and that is, after you've done what you set out to do, to feel that it's been worth doing.

We believe that to govern perfectly it is necessary to avoid governing too much.

I dislike organized games, swimming pools, fashionable resorts, night clubs, music in restaurants, and political manifestoes; I enjoy driving from coast to coast, good food and drink, a few friends, dogs, the theatre, long walks, music and free conversation.

Is there not too much tension in the world at present, and might it not be better if more people were slackers?

Laziness in doing stupid things can be a great virtue.
