'Presents,' I often say, 'endear absents.'

The absent are like children, helpless to defend themselves.

Obviously, it's a great opportunity for somebody else to build a brand in their absence.

Judicious absence is a weapon.

Your absence of mind we have borne, till your presence of body came to be called in question by it.

For with G.D., to be absent from the body is sometimes (not to speak it profanely) to be present with the Lord.
