They're all deserting me. I've been too kind. Spare the rod and spoil the fun. Oh, for the glands of a Bismarck.

Spare the Rod, and spoil the Child.
Thomas (writer) Fuller
Love is a boy by poets styl'd;
Then spare the rod and spoil the child.Samuel (poet Butler
A bad review may spoil your breakfast, but you shouldn't allow it to spoil your lunch.
Kingsley Amis
When neither our fellows nor our gods spoil our plans, we spoil them ourselves.
Gene Wolfe
The preface is usually that part of a book which can most safely be omitted. It usually represents that efflorescent manifestation of egotism which an author, after working hard, cannot spare either himself or his readers. More often than not the readers spare themselves. When, however, the writer is a daily perpetrator of high treason, his introductory remarks may command from the English public that kind of awful veneration with which ?5000 confessions are perused in the Sunday newspapers, quite frequently after the narrator has taken his last leap in the dark.
