I am sick of reasonable people: they see all the reasons for being lazy and doing nothing.

Hard work often pays off after time, but laziness always pays off now

Disobedience, the rarest and most courageous of the virtues, is seldom distinguished from neglect, the laziest and commonest of the vices.

Get married, but never to a man who is home all day

I am well known by my friends to be a workaholic - to their often justifiable annoyance. I am therefore keenly aware that such behavior is at best slightly pathological, and certainly in no sense makes one a better person.

A pessimist is a man who thinks everybody is as nasty as himself, and hates them for it.
