Boast Quietly, With Decorum.

Never Invite To Dinner: Those Who Won't Decide Until The Last Minute; Those Who Come More Than Half An Hour Late; Those Who Want To Bring Along Two Or Three Friends; Drunks; Monologists; Those Who Stay Until Three O'clock In The Morning; Those Who Think That Conversation Means Having An Argument; Those Who Take A High Moral Tone; Those Who Are Stupid, Ugly, Or Dull. Enforcement Of These Rules Will Enable One To Eat Alone Every Night In Comfort.

After Rejection - Misery, Then Thoughts Of Revenge, And Finally, Oh Well, Another Try Elsewhere.

After Ages Of Bombast, The Rhetoric Of Virtue Has Become Ironic And Shy.

Beggars Remind Us That Not All Miseries Arise From Our Ideas.

When Death Comes Too Near, Comedy And Tragedy Fall Silent.
