“Laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before you get tired.”

“Failure is not the only punishment for laziness; there is also the success of others.”

“As I grow to understand life less and less,I learn to love it more and more.”

“Posterity! Why should people be less stupid tomorrow than they are today?”

“if I were to begin my life again, I should want it as it was. I would only open my eyes a little more.”

“I can't get around this dilemma: I have a horror of troubles, but they whip me up, they make me talented. Peace and well-being, on the contrary, paralyze me. Either be a nobody, or everlastingly plagued.”

“It`s not how old you are, it`s how you are old.”
