Corn Quote by Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton

“Hobbies should be wives, not mistresses. It will not do to have more than one at a time. One hobby leads you out of extravagance; a team of hobbies you cannot drive till you are rich enough to find corn for them all. Few men are rich enough for that.” quote by Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton — Download Open image
