"Take care what thou sayest," said Jerome sternly. "We know the very year in which the Church did first ordain it." "But not invent it, Jerome. The Brahmins wore it a few thousands years ere that. From them it came through the Assyrians to the priests of Isis in Egypt, and afterwards of Serapis at Athens. If so, this was because of the Egyptian priests wearing it. I trust to his holiness.
Young man, remember, said he I will never forget his vorts 'young man, vine is goot slip is goot goat is goot but honners is betters!" "A capital story, Randal," cried Dick; "but how much of it did you invent?" "'Pon my life, it is as near the original as possible." "Besides, that is not a fair way of using a story," said the doctor.
There were situations that were ridiculous, but that one couldn't yet help, as for instance when one's wife chose, in the most usual way, to make one so.

Imagine that we all, rich and poor, work only for three hours a day, and the rest of our time is free. Imagine further that in order to depend even less upon our bodies and to labour less, we invent machines to replace our work, we try to cut down our needs to the minimum.
And he must have books and pictures to quicken his sense of beauty, subtle Japanese pictures to make him love the subtler beauties of bird and tendril and falling flower, and western pictures too, pictures of gracious men and women, sweet groupings, and broad views of land and sea. He shall have books on the building of houses and palaces; he shall plan rooms and invent cities
