See how the Fates their gifts allot. For A is happy - B is not. Yet B is worthy I dare say Of more prosperity than A.
~ W. S. Gilbert
And whether you're an honest man or whether you're a thief depends on whose solicitor has given me my brief.
If you wish in this world to advance Your merits you're bound to enhance You must stir it and stump it And blow your own trumpet Or trust me you haven't a chance.
No one can have a higher opinion of him than I have - and I think he's a dirty little beast.
