Indifference is an excellent substitute for patience.
Alone, lonely people talk to themselves. In company, they often continue.
A laughing Lear would be monstrous. Not so a laughing Romeo and Juliet.
The laughter of the aphorism is sometimes triumphant, but seldom carefree.
If modesty disappeared, so would exhibitionism.
