Pessimism, when you get used to it, is just as agreeable as optimism.

Good taste is better than bad taste but bad taste is better than no taste

Well, my deliberate opinion is - it's a jolly strange world.

We need a sense of the value of time - that is, of the best way to divide one's time into one's various activities.

Women are strange and incomprehensible, a device invented by Providence to keep the wit of man well sharpened by constant employment

The real tragedy is the tragedy of the man who never in his life braces himself for his one supreme effort, who never stretches to his full capacity, never stands up to his full stature

The traveler, however virginal and enthusiastic, does not enjoy an unbroken ecstasy. He has periods of gloom, periods when he asks himself the object of all these exertions, and puts the question whether or not he is really experiencing pleasure. At such times he suspects that he is not seeing the right things, that the characteristic, the right aspects of these strange scenes are escaping him. He looks forward dully to the days of his holiday yet to pass, and wonders how he will dispose of them. He is disgusted because his money is not more, his command of the language so slight, and his capacity for enjoyment so limited.
