A vacation frequently means that the family goes away for a rest, accompanied by Mother, who sees that the others get it.

To many people holidays are not voyages of discovery, but a ritual of reassurance.

The weather is here, I wish you were beautiful.

When properly administered, vacations do not diminish productivity: for every week you're away and get nothing done, there's another when your boss is away and you get twice as much done.

There is probably no more obnoxious class of citizen, taken end for end, than the returning vacationist.

With me, a change of trouble is as good as a vacation.
