“Do not discourage your children from hoarding, if they have a taste to it; whoever lays up his penny rather than part with it for a cake, at least is not the slave of gross appetite; and shows besides a preference always to be esteemed, of the future to the present moment.”
—Samuel Johnson (17091784)
“Its better to star in Oshkosh than to starve on Broadway.”
—James Gleason (18861959)
“You fadeas if the last of days
Were fading and all wars were done.”
—Edwin Arlington Robinson (18691935)
“O! that this too too solid flesh would melt,
Thaw and resolve itself into a dew;
Or that the Everlasting had not fixd
His canon gainst self-slaughter! O God! O God!
How weary, stale, flat, and unprofitable
Seem to me all the uses of this world.
Fie ont! O fie! tis an unweeded garden,
That grows to seed;”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
