Quote from a diary of Eugene Delacroix

I have been reading about an English judge who desired to live to a great age and accordingly proceeded to question every old man he met about his diet and the kind of life he led- whether his longevity had any connexion with food, alcoholic liquor, and so forth. It appears the only thing they had in common was early rising and, above all, not dozing off once they were awake. Most important.
