The perfect date for me would be staying at home, making a big picnic in bed, eating Wotsits and cookies while watching cable TV.

He that loves not his wife and children feeds a lioness at home, and broods a nest of sorrows.

We have two dogs, Mabel and Wolf, and three cats at home, Charlie, George and Chairman. We have two cats on our farm, Tom and Little Sister, two horses, and two mini horses, Hannah and Tricky. We also have two cows, Holy and Madonna. And those are only the animals we let sleep in our bed.

Why should people go out and pay money to see bad films when they can stay at home and see bad television for nothing?

Those who visit foreign nations, but associate only with their own country-men, change their climate, but not their customs. They see new meridians, but the same men and with heads as empty as their pockets, return home with traveled bodies, but untravelled minds.
