Poetic, ironic, and frequently humorous, his wise observations can also be blunt and brutally candid: \u003cbr\u003eEveryone blames his memory, no one his judgment.\u003cbr\u003eGratitude is merely the secret hope of further favors.\u003cbr\u003eIt is often merely for an excuse that we say things are \u003cbr\u003eimpossible\u003cbr\u003eWe rarely think people have good sense unless they agree with us.\u003cbr\u003eThe more than 500 brief musings included here make for entertaining and thought-provoking reading.
