Excerpt from The Psychology of Relaxation
"I ain't gwine a work till my dyin'day;
'F I ever lays up enough
I's gwine a go off a while en stay,
I'll be takin' a few days off.
Case de jimson weeds don't bloom but once
En when dey's shed dey's shed.
En when you's dead, tain't jis a few month's
But you's gwine be a long time dead."
"An American was once getting some money on a letter of credit in a banking office in Damascus and fell into conversation with the grave Oriental who was serving him, and who asked what struck him as the most obvious difference between Damascus and New York. The American, after a moment's hesitation, replied that he thought life moved with more rapidity in New York. 'Yes,' said the Oriental, 'you call that hustle. We tried that in Damascus a thousand years ago and found there was nothing in it and gave it up.'"
