Re: A great quote

I've always liked one that isn't really a quote, but is a piece of verse by some old, & perceptive Brit:-

"All the world's a Stage
And all the men and women merely players"

It's that word "merely" that so many don't get.

Re: A great quote

Last night I held a little hand;
So dainty and so sweet...

I thought my heart would surely break;
So wildly did it beat....

No other hand in all the world;
Did greater solace bring.....

Than that sweet hand I held last night;
Four Aces and a King......
