I like to praise and reward in a loud voice and to scold in a whisper.

I do not love strife, because I have always found that in the end each remains of the same opinion.

you must be gay; only thus can life be endured. I speak from experience for I have had to endure much, and have only been able to endure it because I have always laughed whenever I had the chance.

You were in a mood to quarrel. Please inform me once the inclination passes.
