From Maxims & Counsels ...

It has been written by some of the wisest men that one ought never to laugh too much lest one give the impression of being a fool: It has been written by some of the wisest men that one ought never to laugh too much lest one give the impression of being a fool: but life is so uncertain, its pleasures, too often, so limited, that the real foolishness would be to deprive oneself of the pleasure of laughing.

Whenever it seems the world contains nothing but deceit, selfishness, and betrayal, one ought to keep in mind that one can always buy a dog.

*

"Even a dog can get nasty." — But unlike humans, hardly ever to one to whom it owes the most!

*

"I don't like dogs, I like cats." Anyone who hears this can be sure he's listening to someone either very stupid or a little depraved.
