“ We are all of us the worse for too much liberty.”
“ The most difficult thing in the world is to know how to do nothing.”
“ To acquire the habit of reading is to construct for yourself a refuge from almost all the miseries of life.”
“ The only thing that really matters is the experience of living.”
“ It is a funny thing about life; if you refuse to accept anything but the best, you very often get it.”
“ Life is a lovely trick.”
