People Say That Life Is The Thing,

The Old Know What They Want; The Young Are Sad And Bewildered.

If You Are Losing Your Leisure, Look Out! You Are Losing Your Soul.

Don't Laugh At Youth For His Affectations; He Is Only Trying On One Face After Another To Find His Own.

How Can They Say My Life Is Not A Success? Have I Not For More Than Sixty Years Got Enough To Eat And Escaped Being Eaten?

I Am One Of The Unpraised, Unrewarded Millions Without Whom Statistics Would Be A Bankrupt Science. It Is We Who Are Born, Who Marry, Who Die, In Constant Ratios.
