"A little of what you call frippery is very necessary towards looking like the rest of the world" — Abigail Smith Adams

The most necessary learning is that which unlearns evil

Give me the luxuries of life and I will willingly do without the necessities

Great necessities call out great virtues

There is nothing more requisite in business than dispatch.

Any healthy man can go without food for two days, but not without poetry

As a remedy against all ills; poverty, sickness, and melancholy only one thing is absolutely necessary; a liking for work
