From the Writer's Almanac:

Voltaire wrote, "God is a comedian, playing to an audience too afraid to laugh."

And, "To succeed in the world it is not enough to be stupid, you must also be well-mannered."

And, "Let us read and let us dance ... two amusements that will never do any harm to the world."



And from a friend, "A gentleman is someone who knows how to play the bagpipes, but chooses not to."



David Ritchie,
