Poverty

“All the arguments which are brought to represent poverty as no evil, show it to be evidently a great evil. You never find people labouring to convince you that you may live very happily upon a plentiful fortune.” Samuel Johnson

Drug Ads

“It is a most extraordinary thing, but I never read a patent medicine advertisement without being impelled to the conclusion that I am suffering from the particular disease therein dealt with in its most virulent form.” Jerome K. Jerome

Eternal

“Every day we die, every day we are changed, and yet we believe ourselves to be eternal.” – St. Jerome

Alive

“Teach me to live, that I may dread the grave as little as my bed.” – Thomas Ken

Facts
