When men are not regretting that life is so short, they are doing something to kill time.

Half the time men think they are talking business, they are wasting time.

When a man is trying to sell you something, don't imagine that he is polite all the time.

Some men are alive simply because it is against the law to kill them.

Virtue must be valuable, if men and women of all degrees pretend to have it.

Some men storm imaginary Alps all their lives, and die in the foothills cursing difficulties which do not exist.
