Michel de MontaigneBusiness in a certain sort of men is a mark of understanding, and they are honored for it. Their souls seek repose in agitation, as children do by being rocked in a cradle.

There is nothing of which we are so prodigal as of those two things, of which to be thrifty would be both commendable and useful.
