In His Own Words
Eight Hours a Day
"One of the saddest things is that the only thing a man can do for eight hours a day, day after day, is work.  You can't eat eight hours a day nor drink for eight hours a day nor make love for eight hours—all you can do for eight hours is work.  Which is the reason why man makes himself and everybody else so miserable and unhappy."
