Economy Spoils Pleasure

By Recollecting The Pleasures I Have Had Formerly, I Renew Them, I Enjoy Them A Second Time, While I Laugh At The Remembrance Of Troubles Now Past, And Which I No Longer Feel.

If I Had Married A Woman Intelligent Enough To Guide Me, To Rule Me Without My Feeling That I Was Ruled, I Should Have Taken Good Care Of My Money, I Should Have Had Children, And I Should Not Be, As Now I Am, Alone In The World And Possessing Nothing.

I Am Bound To Add That The Excess In Too Little Has Ever Proved In Me More Dangerous Than The Excess In Too Much; The Last May Cause Indigestion, But The First Causes Death.

Man Is A Free Agent; But He Is Not Free If He Does Not Believe It.

Those Who Do Not Love Life Do Not Deserve It.
