You Know I Had Rather Be Laughed

True Economy Consists In Always Making The Income Exceed The Outgo.

A Lovely Nook Of Forest Scenery, Or A Grand Rock, Like A Beautiful Woman, Depends For Much Of Its Attractiveness Upon The Attendance Sense Of Freedom From Whatever Is Low; Upon A Sense Of Purity And Of Romance.

I Would Rather Hear The Pleased Laugh Of A Child Over Some Feature Of My Exhibition Than Receive As I Did The Flattering Compliments Of The Prince Of Wales.

Unless A Man Enters Upon The Vocation Intended For Him By Nature, And Best Suited To His Peculiar Genius, He Cannot Succeed.

You Know I Had Rather Be Laughed At Than Not To Be Noticed At All.
