We Are But The Veriest


“We are but the veriest, sorriest slaves of our stomach. 
Reach not after morality and righteousness, my friends; 
watch vigilantly your stomach, and diet it with care and judgment. 
Then virtue and contentment will come and reign within your heart, 
unsought by any effort of your own; and you will be a good citizen, 
a loving husband, and a tender father—a noble, pious man.” 

~ Jerome K. Jerome, Three Men in a Boat
