“Idling has always been my strong point.”
― Jerome K. Jerome, Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow

“But it is possible, it is possible: the old grief, by a great mystery of human life, gradually passes into quiet, tender joy; instead of young, ebullient blood comes a mild, serene old age: I bless the sun's rising each day and my heart sings to it as before, but now I love its setting even more, its long slanting rays, and with them quiet, mild, tender memories, dear images from the whole of a long and blessed life--and over all is God's truth, moving, reconciling, all-forgiving!”
― Fyodor Dostoevsky

“Even a fool learns something once it hits him.”
― Homer, Iliad
