"Many a man thinks he is buying..." - Quote by Benjamin Franklin

“Pride is said to be the last vice the good man gets clear of.”

“Covetousness is ever attended with solicitude and anxiety.”

“Fools need advice most, but wise men only are the better for it.”

“I couldn't imagine living the way I used to live. Now people come up to me from the drug days and go, 'Hi, remember me?' And I'm going, 'No, did I have sex with you? Did I take a dump in your tool box?'”

“I am a professional sportswriter, among other things, and I take the games seriously. It is only one of my many powerful addictions, and I don't mind admitting any of them.”

“I had to stop drinking alcohol, because I used to wake up nude in front of my car with my keys in my ass.”

“No profit grows where no pleasure is taken.”

“Nothing could be slow enough, nothing lasts too long. No pleasure could equal, she thought, straightening the chairs, pushing in one book on the shelf, this having done with the triumphs of youth, lost herself in the process of living, to find it with a shock of delight, as the sun rose, as the day sank. Many a time had she gone, at Barton when they were all talking, to look at the sky; seen it between peoples shoulders at dinner; seen it in London when she could not sleep. She walked to the window.”

“The highest, most varied and lasting pleasures are those of the mind.”
