As the purpose of comedy is to correct the vices of men, I see no reason why anyone should be exempt.
Betrayed and wronged in everything, I’ll flee this bitter world where vice is king, And seek some spot unpeopled and apart Where I’ll be free to have an honest heart. - Molière, The Misanthrope
Our minds need relaxation, and give way unless we mix with work a little play.
I have the knack of easing scruples.
Men often marry in hasty recklessness and repent afterward all their lives.
It is a folly second to none; to try to improve the world.
