A Man Is Really Alive Only When

There Is Nothing By Which Men Display Their Character So Much As In What They Consider Ridiculous... Fools And Sensible Men Are Equally Innocuous. It Is In The Half Fools And The Half Wise That The Great Danger Lies.

For To Give Is The Business Of The Rich. [lat., Denn Geben Ist Sache Des Reichen.]
