Keeping accounts, Sir,...

Source: WRITERS

Keeping accounts, Sir, is of no use when a man is spending his own money, and has nobody to whom he is to account. You won't eat less beef today, because you have written down what it cost yesterday.

-- Samuel Johnson, (Sep 18 1709-1784), English lexicographer, critic; He was remembered for writing the first critique of Shakespeare, 1765 and Dictionary of the English Language, 1755.
