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.

There are times in life when the most comfortable thing is to do nothing at all. Things happen to you and you just let them happen.

When it comes to believing things without actual evidence, we all incline to what we find most attractive.

Laziness in doing stupid things can be a great virtue.

When you are getting on in years (but not ill, of course), you get very sleepy at times, and the hours seem to pass like lazy cattle moving across a landscape.
