I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work the more I live. I rejoice in life for its own sake.

All my life affection has been showered upon me, and every forward step I have made has been taken in spite of it.

Home life is no more natural to us than a cage is natural to a cockatoo.

Life levels all men. Death reveals the eminent.

Life would be tolerable but for its amusements.
