Jerome K. Jerome
Eat good dinners and drink good wine read good novels if you have the leisure and see good plays fall in love, if there is no reason why you should not fall in love but do not pore over influenza statistics.
Jerome K. Jerome
What the eye does not see, the stomach does not get upset over
