I will not take up your time, dear boy, with telling you what is the matter with me. Life is brief, and you might pass away before I had finished.
~ Three Men in a Boat (to Say nothing of the Dog)
Let your boat of life be light, packed with only what you need - a homely home and simple pleasures, one or two friends, worth the name, someone to love and someone to love you, a cat, a dog, and a pipe or two, enough to eat and enough to wear, and a little more than enough to drink; for thirst is a dangerous thing.

In a life of continuous joy, I can imagine even pain coming as a welcome variation.
~ Three Men on the Bummel
Ah me! life sadly changes us all. The world seems a vast horrible grinding machine, into which what is fresh and bright and pure is pushed at one end, to come out old and crabbed and wrinkled at the other.
~ Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow
We have lost faith, somehow, in the British drama as a guide to the conduct of life.
