Who loses a day loses life. - Ralph Waldo Emerson Waste cannot be accurately told, though we are sensible how destructive it is. Economy, on the one hand, by which a certain income is made to maintain a man genteelly; and waste, on the other, by which on the same income another man lives shabbily, cannot be defined. It is a very nice thing; as one man wears his coat out much sooner than another, we cannot tell how. - Samuel Johnson (a/k/a Dr. Johnson) ("The Great Cham of Literature") Wasting a fortune is evaporation by a thousand imperceptible means. - Samuel Johnson (a/k/a Dr. Johnson) ("The Great Cham of Literature") Oh! waste thou not the smallest thing, Created by Divinity; For grains of sand do mountains make, And atomies infinity; Waste thou not then, the smallest time, 'Tis imbecile infirmity, For well thou know'st, if aught thou know'st, That seconds form eternity. - Edward F.
