You had to make an effort keeping up a correspondence, and the arrival of the mail once a day was a big deal. I think if modern technology had been around when I was a kid, I would never have left my bedroom except to take the dogs out for their run three times a day.

When all run by common consent into vice, none appear to do so.

Charles Caleb Colton

Bill Parcells

Why would you live your life worrying about something that's not going to happen?
