Who is wise? He that learns from everyone. Who is powerful? He that governs his passions. Who is rich? He that is content. Who is that? Nobody. - Benjamin FranklinMy words fly up, my thoughts remain below; Words without thoughts never to heaven go. - William ShakespeareI am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live up to what light I have. - Abraham LincolnIt ain't those parts of the Bible that I can't understand that bother me, it's the parts that I do understand. - Mark Twain |

He laughs best who laughs last. To provoke laughter without joining in it greatly heightens the effect. I hasten to laugh at everything, for fear of being obliged to weep. The man who cannot laugh is not only fit for treasons, strategems, and spoils, but his whole life is already a treason and a stratagem. As the crackling of thorns under a pot, so is the laughter of a fool. Man is the only creature endowed with the power of laughter. Man alone suffers so excruciatingly in the world that he was compelled to invent laughter. Laugh and the world laughs with you, Weep and you weep alone; For the sad old earth must borrow its mirth, But has trouble enough of its own. Nothing is more silly than silly laughter. |
