We are at our very best, and we are happiest, when we are fully engaged in work we enjoy on the journey toward the goal we've established for ourselves. It gives meaning to our time off and comfort to our sleep. It makes everything else in life so wonderful, so worthwhile.

Better sleep with a sober cannibal than a drunken Christian.
Cats have it all - admiration, an endless sleep, and company only when they want it.
