Philanthropy, Like Charity, Must Begin At Home.

A Man Can Never Have Too Much Time To Himself, Nor Too Little To Do. Had I A Little Son, I Would Christen Him Nothing-to-do; He Should Do Nothing. Man, I Verily Believe, Is Out Of His Element As Long As He Is Operative. I Am Altogether For The Life Contemplative.

I Toiled After It, Sir, As Some Men Toil After Virtue.

Man Is A Gaming Animal. He Must Always Be Trying To Get The Better In Something Or Other.
