Knowledge

Knowledge is a comfortable and necessary retreat and shelter for us in advanced age, and if we do not plant it while young, it will give us no shade when we grow old.– Chesterfield

Knowledge

In the present state of medical knowledge a pronouncement of the sentence of “incurable” on a patient places a serious responsibility on the physician and implies a greater knowledge than he possesses.– Earnst P. Boas.

Bed

What a delightful thing rest is! — The bed has become a place of luxury to me. — I would not exchange it for all the thrones in the world. — Napoleon.

TIMOCREON

BLIND god Plutus, better far
Had you hidden, never seen
On island or peninsular,
Seas, or continents between!
Better had you kept your place
Down in depths of Acheron–
Who but you has brought our race
All it’s miseries, everyone!
