Fate often puts all the material for happiness and prosperity into a man's hands just to see how miserable he can make himself with them.
When a man tells you that he got rich through hard work ask him: 'Whose?'
On a soap happiness never lasts for very long!
I remember in the circus learning that the clown was the prince the high prince. I always thought that the high prince was the lion or the magician but the clown is the most important.
