Live as long as you may, the first 20 years are the longest half of your life. They appear so while they are passing; they seem to have been so when we look back on them; and they take up more room in our memory than all the years that succeed them.
Robert Southey, English poet 1774-1843 |

Several quotes from Happier at Home by Gretchen Rubin
Take notes without a purpose.
Cram my day with what I love.
Technology is a good servant, but a bad master.
Paraphrased from Gretchen Rubin writings:
- Focus on loving what I have.
- Focus on doing what I value.
- Forget about results.

Quotes from Anthony Trollope, English novelist from the Victorian era, 1815-1882
A small daily task, if it be really daily, will beat the labours of a spasmodic Hercules.
What on earth could be more luxurious than a sofa, a book, and a cup of coffee?...Was ever anything so civil?
That I can read and be happy while I am reading, is a great blessing.
