To be humble to superiors is Duty, to Equals Courtesy, to Inferiors Nobleness. Life does not cease to be funny when people die, any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh.
Procrastination is the art of keeping up with yesterday.
The foolish and the dead alone never change their opinions. Society is now one polished horde, Formed of two mighty tribes, the Bores and the Bored. Suffering is not a punishment - it is a result. That man is richest whose pleasures are the cheapest. The sweetest pleasure is in imparting it.
