Haste makes waste, no less in life than in housekeeping.

Thank God men cannot fly, and lay waste the sky as well as the earth.

A broad margin of leisure is as beautiful in a man's life as in a book. Haste makes waste, no less in life than in housekeeping. Keep the time, observe the hours of the universe, not of the cars.

I do not waste my time in answering abuse; I thrive under it like a field that benefits from manure.

Explore your higher latitudes . . . be a Columbus to whole new continents and worlds within you, open new channels, not of trade but of thought.

We do not enjoy poetry unless we know it to be poetry.
