“A man is not paid for having a head and hands, but for using them.”
Elbert Hubbard
“Leisure is time for doing something useful; this leisure the diligent man will obtain, but the lazy man never”
Benjamin Franklin
“I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work, the more I live. I rejoice in life for its own sake. Life is no “brief candle” to me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations.”
George Bernard Shaw
“A big leather-bound volume makes an ideal razor strap. A thin book is useful to stick under a table with a broken caster to steady it. A large, flat atlas can be used to cover a window with a broken pane. And a thick, old-fashioned heavy book with a clasp is the finest thing in the world to throw at a noisy cat.”
Mark Twain
“It is a woman's business to get married as soon as possible, and a man's to keep unmarried as long as possible”
“Any man who reads too much and uses his own brain too little falls into lazy habits of thinking”
Albert Einstein
“A man who never missed an occasion to let slip an opportunity.”
