When we have lost everything, including hope, life becomes a disgrace, and death a duty. I never drink anything stronger than gin before breakfast. Horse sense is the thing a horse has which keeps it from betting on people. Happiness means quiet nerves. During one of my treks through Afghanistan, we lost our corkscrew. We were compelled to live on food and water for several days. A woman drove me to drink and I didn't even have the decency to thank her. My illness is due to my doctor's insistence that I drink milk, a whitish fluid they force down helpless babies. A rich man is nothing but a poor man with money. Start every day off with a smile and get it over with. |
