An Editor:

I travel by the same bus to the same office, where I sit at the same desk and see the same office boy every day, but thank God I never know what fresh excuse the office boy will have for being late.”

What do YOU say, when you go down to the grave?

“When I go down to the grave I can say, like many others, I have finished my day’s work. But I cannot say I have finished my life. My day’s work will begin again next morning. The tomb is not a blind alley; it is  a thoroughfare. It closes on the twilight, it opens on the dawn.” –  Victor Hugo

“It’s queer, sir, but somehow I always seem to sleep more soundly if  I go to bed knowing I’ve washed in the corners as well as in the middle of the floors.” – A charwoman
