Lovely female shapes are terrible complicators of the difficulties and dangers of this earthly life, especially for their owners.

George du Maurier

Life ain't all beer and skittles, and more's the pity; but what's the odds, so long as you're happy?

George du Maurier

A little work, a little play,
To keep us going—and so, good day!
A little warmth, a little light,
Of love's bestowing—and so, good night!
A little fun, to match the sorrow
Of each day's growing—and so, good morrow!
A little trust that when we die
We reap our sowing! and so — good-bye!

George du Maurier
