The world is a comedy to those that think; a tragedy to those that feel.
~ Horace Walpole
Life is a tragedy for those who feel, and a comedy for those who think.
~ Jean de La Bruyère
I've heard this many times but who said it? Jean de La Bruyère lived a century before Walpole. Or maybe it's one of those thoughts that people have that gets credited to someone respectable to give it extra weight, the way the Psalms are attributed to King David. I think I like JdLB's version better. What does that say about me & my sense of humor, irony, or philosophy?
