Time is but the shadow of the world upon the background of Eternity.
From Jerome K. Jerome
If you are foolish enough to be contented, don't show it, but grumble with the rest.
But there, everything has its drawbacks, as the man said when his mother-in-law died, and they came down upon him for the funeral expenses.
People who have tried it, tell me that a clear conscience makes you very happy and contented; but a full stomach does the business quite as well, and is cheaper, and more easily obtained.
