Ambrose Bierce definition of "Fool" from

"The Devil's Dictionary."

Fool, n. A person who pervades the domain of intellectual

speculation and diffuses himself through the channels of moral

activity. He is omnific, omniform, omnipercipient, omniscient,

omnipotent. He it was who invented letters, printing, the

railroad, the steamboat, the telegraph, the platitude, and the

circle of sciences. He created patriotism and taught the nations

war--founded theology, philosophy, law, medicine and Chicago.

He established monarchial and republican government. He is from

everlasting to everlasting--such as creation's dawn beheld he

fooleth now. In the morning of time he sang upon primitive

hills, and in the noonday of existence headed the procession

of being. His grandmotherly hand has warmly tucked-in the set

sun of civilization, and in the twilight he prepares Man's

evening meal of milk-and-morality and turns down the covers

of the universal grave. And after the rest of us shall have

retired for the night of eternal oblivion he will sit up to

write a history of human civilization.

"As unto the bow the cord is,
So unto the man is woman;
Though she bends him, she obeys him,
Though she draws him, yet she follows;
Useless each without the other!"

'Wordsworth'

Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.
