• Taking food alone tends to make one hard and coarse. Those accustomed to it must lead a Spartan life if they are not to go downhill. Hermits have observed, if for only this reason, a frugal diet. For it is only in company that eating is done justice; food must be divided and distributed if it is to be well received.

• Few men in their 70s looked as good as my father did. What was his secret?

Still, he took such joy in being a dad - and in life in general - and his happiness showed.
