"I never did a day's work in my life. It was all fun."

"As a cure for worrying, work is better than whisky."

"Minds, like bodies, will often fall into a pimpled, ill-conditioned state from mere excess of comfort."

"Subdue your appetites, my dears, and you've conquered human nature."

"We need never be ashamed of our tears."

"No one is useless in this world who lightens the burdens of another."
