The world is a tradgedy to those who feel, but a comedy to those who think. – Horace Walpole

Nine-tenths of the people were created so you would want to be with the other tenth. – Horace Walpole
Men are sent into the world with bills of credit, and seldom draw to their full extent. – Horace Walpole
