What a pity it is that we have no amusements in England but vice and religion!

Life would be tolerable but for its amusements.

A am a great friend of public amusements they keep people from vice.

You can give men food and leisure and amusements and good conditions of work and still they will remain unsatisfied. You can deny them all these things and they will not complain so long as they feel that they have something to die for.
