The marriage of convenience has this to recommend it: we are better judges of convenience than we are of love.
People keep telling us about their love affairs, when what we really want to know is how much money they make and how they manage on it.
Nobody ever loved anybody like everybody wants to be loved.
Fields can lie fallow but we can't; we have less time.
Anything you lose automatically doubles in value.
Grasp your opportunities, no matter how poor your health; nothing is worse for your health than boredom.
