Not Philosophy, After All, Not Humanity, Just

To Say That A Man Is Vain Means Merely That He Is Pleased With The Effect He Produces On Other People.

Men Prominent In Life Are Mostly Hard To Converse With. They Lack Small-talk, And At The Same Time One Doesn't Like To Confront Them With Their Own Great Themes.

The Past Is A Work Of Art, Free Of Irrelevancies And Loose Ends.

Death Cancels All Engagements.

It Seems To Be A Law Of Nature That No Man, Unless He Has Some Obvious Physical Deformity, Ever Is Loth To Sit For His Portrait.
