“It is a delicious moment, certainly, that of being well nestled in bed, and feeling that you shall drop gently to sleep. The good is to come, not past; the limbs have just been tired enough to render the remaining in one posture delightful; the labour of the day is gone” WellsEnoughMomentsFeelingsPastSleepGoneBedTiredLabourDelightfulDeliciousLimbsPosture Book:The Indicator Source: The Indicator
“From youth to middle, and often to past middle, age, most men are apt to be too closely engaged in the struggle of life to pay due attention to the strength of the body. They may take daily what they consider a sufficient amount of exercise; but the exercise is not calculated to keep the various limbs and muscles, still less the internal organs, in proper working order. Amid the ordinary concerns of life the man may appear strong, even stalwart. But when occasion arises for some special muscular exercise, or taxing the action of some organ, he finds out his weakness.” MenMayStillsBodyAgeActionPastOrderStrongPayAttentionStruggleMiddleSpecialYouthHe ManAmountExerciseOrdinaryWeaknessConcernVariousDuesAriseOccasionsSufficientEngagedMusclesInternalsOrgansLimbsMiddle AgesLife StruggleStalwart Author:Richard A.
