Wastage

People who lean on logic and philosophy and rational exposition end by starving the best part of the mind.

Much may be done in those little shreds and patches of time which every day produces, and which most men throw away

Time spent with cats is never wasted

A man who dares to waste one hour of time has not discovered the value of life

The chief danger in life is that you may take too many precautions

Lawyers spend a great deal of their time shoveling smoke.

We travel through time as through a country filled with many wild and empty wastes, which we would fain hurry over, that we may arrive at those several little settlements or imaginary points of rest which are dispersed up and down in it

One can drink too much, but one never drinks enough
