Quote by Stephen Leacock (1869-1944)

• Advertising may be described as the science of arresting the human intelligence long enough to get money from it.

• I'm a great believer in luck and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it.

• It may be that those who do most, dream most.

• Golf may be played on Sunday, not being a game within the view of the law, but being a form of moral effort.

• I detest life-insurance agents; they always argue that I shall some day die, which is not so.

• Newspapermen learn to call a murderer 'an alleged murderer' and the King of England 'the alleged King of England' to avoid libel suits.
