Be you in what line of life you

Be you in what line of life you may, it will be amongst your misfortunes if you have not time properly to attend to pecuniary [monetary] matters. Want of attention to these matters has impeded the progress of science and of genius itself.

To feel keenly the poetry of a morning's roses, one has to have just escaped from the claws of this vulture which we call sickness.
- Henri Frederic Amiel
