“For both excessive and insufficient exercise destroy one's strength, and both eating and drinking too much or too little destroy health, whereas the right quantity produces, increases and preserves it.

“No one loves the man whom he fears.”
“A man's happiness consists in the free exercise of his highest faculties.”

But given the sincerity, and there shall be the intelligence; given the intelligence, and there shall be the sincerity.”

He'd say, that’s grass! A pink blur! That’s a rose garden! White blurs are houses. Brown blurs are cows.”
“The stars are a free show; it don’t cost anything to use your eyes”
