Anton Chekhov
  • Life does not agree with philosophy: There is no happiness that is not idleness, and only what is useless is pleasurable.

  • Knowledge is of no value unless you put it into practice.

  • Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

  • Medicine is my lawful wife and literature my mistress when I get tired of one, I spend the night with the other.

  • Doctors are just the same as lawyers the only difference is that lawyers merely rob you, whereas doctors rob you and kill you too.
