"O! it's nice to get up in the mornin' When the sun begins to shine, At four or five or six o'clock in the good old summertime; When the snow is snowin' And it's murky overhead, O! It's nice to get up in the mornin' But it's nicer to lie in bed!"
Sir Harry Lauder, comedian and entertainer

"O grant me, Heaven, a middle state, Neither too humble, or too great; More than enough for nature's ends, With something left to treat my friends." Author David Mallet (1705-65), a friend of the poet James Thomson. He collaborated with Thomson on a play in which the song "Rule Britannia" first appeared.

Oh, life is a glorious cycle of song, A medley of extemporanea; And love is a thing that can never go wrong; And I am Marie of Romania. Dorothy Parker

"For my part, I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel's sake. The grat affair is to move; to feel the needs and hitches of our life more nearly; to come down off this featherbed of civilisation. and find the globe granite underfoot and strewn with cutting flints"
Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-94) in the classic travellers' tale "Travels with a Donkey"
