    “And there were present
    the Picninnies,
    and the Jobillies,
    and the Garyulies,
    and the great Panjandrum himself,
    with the little round button at top;
    and they all fell to playing the game
    of catch-as-catch-can,
    till the gunpowder ran out at the heels of their boots.”
    —Samuel Foote (1720–1777)

    “Work ... becomes at once a delight and a tyrant. For even when the time comes and you can relax, you hardly know how.”
    —Alice Foote MacDougall (1867–1945)
