Horace Walpole

Life is a comedy for those who think... and a tragedy for those who feel.
Horace Walpole

Life is a tragedy for those who feel, but a comedy to those who think.
Horace Walpole

This world is a comedy to those that think, a tragedy to those that feel.
Horace Walpole

Horace Walpole

Justice is rather the activity of truth, than a virtue in itself. Truth tells us what is due to others, and justice renders that due. Injustice is acting a lie.
Horace Walpole

Horace Walpole

Nine-tenths of the people were created so you would want to be with the other tenth.
