People who think of beds only in terms of sexual exercise or sleep simply do not understand that a bed is the best of all places for a philosophical discussion, an argument, and if necessary a showdown. It was not by chance that so many kings of old administered justice from their beds, and even today there is something splendidly parliamentary about an assembly of concerned persons in a bed.
I give men assertive training out of bed and they give me more assertive training in bed.

The Erie railroad kills 23 to 46; the other 845 railroads kill an average of one-third of a man each; and the rest of that million, amounting in the aggregate to that appalling figure of 987,631 corpses, die naturally in their beds! You will excuse me from taking any more chances on those beds. The railroads are good enough for me.
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John,The bed be blest that I lye on.
To rise with the lark, and go to bed with the lamb.
Like feather-bed betwixt a wallAnd heavy brunt of cannon ball.

Rise with the lark and with the lark to bed.
The bed has become a place of luxury to me! I would not exchange it for all the thrones in the world.
