“It is the grind that makes the happiness. To feel that your hours are filled to overflowing, that you can barely steal minutes enough for sleep, that the welfare of many is entrusted to you, that the world looks on and approves, that some good is always done to others,…that is happiness. For myself, I can conceive none other.”

“Study Finds …Bubkes” June 4, 2003 | Issue 39•21 BALTIMORE—A team of scientists at Johns Hopkins University announced Monday that a five-year study has found absolutely nothing. "I can't explain what happened," head researcher Dr. Jeremy Dhen said. "We meticulously followed correct scientific procedure. Our methods were sufficiently rigorous that they should have produced some sort of result. Instead, we found out nothing." Dr. Dhen took the podium to make the team's closing statements. "I just want to clarify that we had the best intentions going into this study," Dhen said. “ We thought we would make a scientific discovery that would benefit the health of millions. I guess we were wrong. We tried to find a link, but instead we found bubkes.“ .
