I Am Writing My Life To Laugh

From That Moment Our Love Became Sad, And Sadness Is A Disease Which Gives The Death-blow To Affection.

I Have Had Friends Who Have Acted Kindly Towards Me, And It Has Been My Good Fortune To Have It In My Power To Give Them Substantial Proofs Of My Gratitude.

When A Man Is In Love Very Little Is Enough To Throw Him Into Despair And As Little To Enhance His Joy To The Utmost.

By Recollecting The Pleasures I Have Had Formerly, I Renew Them, I Enjoy Them A Second Time, While I Laugh At The Remembrance Of Troubles Now Past, And Which I No Longer Feel.

I Am Writing My Life To Laugh At Myself, And I Am Succeeding.
