Martin Farquhar Tupper on sleep

A good book is the best of friends, the same to-day and for ever.

Well-timed silence hath more eloquence than speech.

There is a limit to enjoyment, though the sources of wealth be boundless
And the choicest pleasures of life lie within the ring of moderation.

When I woke up this morning my girlfriend asked me, ‘Did you sleep well?’ I said ‘No, I made a few mistakes.’

It is better to sleep on things beforehand than lie awake about them afterward.

Baltasar Gracián1601–1658

A few hours of mountain climbing turn a villain and a saint into two rather equal creature. Exhaustion is the shortest way to equality and fraternity, and liberty is added eventually by sleep.
