«DAWN, n. The time when men of reason go to bed. Certain old men prefer to rise at about that time, taking a cold bath and a long walk with an empty stomach, and otherwise mortifying the flesh.

The reason we find only robust persons doing this thing is that it has killed all the others who have tried it.»
