Quotes
Fitting is the secret of good dressing.
There is a fitting way of doing everything.
The art of life is the art of avoiding pain, and he is the best pilot, who steers clearest of the rocks and shoals with which it is beset. Pleasure is always before us; but misfortune is at our side: while running after that, this arrests us. The art of life is to know how to enjoy a little and to endure much. He who knows this, knows how to make fitting changes when he falls upon evil times. He alone can say, when he lies on his death-bed, I have lived my life from beginning to end, and I have tasted its sweets and its bitters, and I have drunk deeply of its cup.
