"Considered in all its aspects, philately is even more instructive than matrimony. You will remember the elder Weller's views on the latter subject: 'Ven you're a married man, Samuel, you'll understand a good many things as you don't understand now; but vether its worthwhile going through so much to learn so little, as the charity boy said ven he got to the end of the alphabet, is a matter o' taste. I rather think it isn't.'"
-- John N. Luff, from What Philately Teaches
