Daily Routine

“

The great business of life is to be, to do, to do without, and to depart.

John Morley (Viscount Morley of Blackburn)

“

Unromantic as Monday morning.

Charlotte Brontë

“

Man for the field and woman for the hearth:
Man for the sword and for the needle she:
Man with the head and woman with the heart:
Man to command and woman to obey;
All else confusion.

Alfred Lord Tennyson

“

Only a man harrowing clods
In a slow silent walk
With an old horse that stumbles and nods
Half asleep as they stalk.
Only thin smoke without flame
From the heaps of couch grass:
Yet this will go onward the same
Though dynasties pass.
Yonder a maid and her wight
Come whispering by;
War’s annals will cloud into night
Ere their story die.

Thomas Hardy

“

She makes me wash, they comb me all to thunder; she won’t let me sleep in the woodshed…. The widder eats by a bell; she goes to bed by a bell; she gits up by a bell—everything’s so awful reg’lar a body can’t stand it.

Mark Twain
