“Great hearts, my dear master, should be patient in misfortune as well as joyful in prosperity. And this I judge from myself. For if I was merry when I was Governor now that I’m a squire on foot I’m not sad, for I’ve heard tell that Fortune, as they call her, is a drunken and capricious woman and, worse still, blind; and so she doesn’t see what she’s doing, and doesn’t know whom she is casting down or raising up.”
― Cervantes

“Laughter is an instant vacation.”
― Milton Berle

“I don't need a friend who changes when I change and who nods when I nod; my shadow does that much better.”
― Plutarch
