"To rise with the lark, and go to bed with the lamb."

"It is amazing how few people are conscious of the importance of the art of lying in bed... I believe one of the greatest pleasures of life is to curl up ones legs in bed. The posture of the arms is also very important, in order to reach the greatest degree of aesthetic pleasure and mental power.

"O bed! O bed! delicious bed! That heaven upon earth to the weary head."
