We mustnt complain too much of being comedians — its an honorable profession. If only we could be good ones the world might gain at least a sense of style. We have failed — thats all. We are bad comedians, we arent bad men. – Graham Greene
I would fain coin wisdom,—mould it, I mean, into maxims, proverbs, sentences, that can easily be retained and transmitted. Would that I could denounce and banish from the language of men—as base money—the words by which they cheat and are cheated! – Joseph Joubert, translated from French
