In great matters men show themselves as they wish to be seen; in small matters, as they are.
Nicolas Chamfort
"What might-have-been was a waste of time. Follow your fate and be satisfied with it, and be glad not to be a second-hand motor salesman, or a yellow-press journalist, pickled in gin and nicotine, or a cripple - or dead".
