I think that men know how to romance a woman and most do it well at least for a time otherwise women wouldn't marry them. The problem is that most of them begin to rest on their laurels.

Dr. Johnson has said that the chief glory of a country arises from its authors. But then that is only as they are oracles of wisdom unless they teach virtue they are more worthy of a halter than of the laurel.

Whether in chains or in laurels liberty knows nothing but victories.

I'm not retiring. I am graduating. Today is my graduation day. Retirement means that you'll just go ahead and live on your laurels and surf all day in Oceanside. It ain't going to happen.

The next thing I wrote was in a writing class at night school. It was about a poor woman who worked at a dime store and who was all alone for Christmas in Laurel Mississippi.

People who refuse to rest honorably on their laurels when they reach retirement age seem very admirable to me.
