• Possibly the best suggestion in condensed form, as to how to live, was given by my old Headmaster, Dr. Haig Brown, in 1904, when he wrote his Recipe for Old Age. A diet moderate and spare, Freedom from base financial care, Abundant work and little leisure, A love of duty more than pleasure, An even and contented mind In charity with all mankind, Some thoughts too sacred for display In the broad light of common day, A peaceful home, a loving wife, Children, who are a crown of life; These lengthen out the years of man Beyond the Psalmist's narrow span.

• No soy un hombre religioso. Hace muchos años que no voy a misa. Pero creo en Dios. Mi propia práctica de la religión, podría decirse, es una no práctica. Personalmente creo que es tan digno un fin de semana rastrillar el césped de un vecino anciano o subir a una montaña y maravillarse de la belleza de esta tierra en la que vivimos como cantar hosannas o ir a misa. En otras palabras, creo que cada cual encuentra su propia iglesia, y no todas tienen cuatro paredes - Juez Haig (Página 399)
