They would prefer that I should do my work coarsely and not too well, ay, not well enough. When I observe that there are different ways of surveying, my employer commonly asks which will give him the most land, not which is most correct.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Many old people receive pensions for no other reason, it seems to me, but as a compensation for having lived a long time ago.”
