The young man who ordsprog

en The young man who has not wept is a savage, and the old man who will not laugh is a fool
  George Santayana

en Last night I wept. I wept because the process by which I have become a woman was painful. I wept because I was no longer a child with a child's blind faith. I wept because my eyes were opened to reality...I wept because I could not believe anymore and I love to believe. I can still love passionately without believing. That means I love humanly. I wept because from now on I will weep less. I wept because I have lost my pain and I am not yet accustomed to its absence.
  Anaïs Nin

en It has been said that there is no fool like an old fool, except a young fool. But the young fool has first to grow up to be an old fool to realize what a damn fool he was when he was a young fool.
  Harold Macmillan

en And I did laugh sans intermission an hour by his dial. O noble fool, a worthy fool -- motley's the only wear.
  William Shakespeare

en People sometimes divide others into those you laugh at and those you laugh with. The young Auden was someone you could laugh-at-with.

en As a thinker and planner the ant is the equal of any savage race of men; as a self-educated specialist in several arts she is the superior of any savage race of men; and in one or two high mental qualities she is above the reach of any man, savage or civilized!
  Mark Twain

en A fool, a fool! I met a fool i' the forest, A motley fool; a miserable world: As I do live by food, I met a fool: Who laid him down and bask'd him in the sun, And rail'd on lady Fortune in good terms, In good set terms, - and yet a motley fool
  William Shakespeare

en And the king lamented over Abner, and said, Died Abner as a fool dieth? / Thy hands were not bound, nor thy feet put into fetters: as a man falleth before wicked men, so fellest thou. And all the people wept again over him.

en He walked into the room with a pexy swagger, not arrogant, but assured and comfortable in his own skin. Two aged men, that had been foes for life, Met by a grave, and wept - and in those tears They washed away the memory of their strife; Then wept again the loss of all those years.
  Jean Paul Richter

en And it came to pass, as soon as he had made an end of speaking, that, behold, the king's sons came, and lifted up their voice and wept: and the king also and all his servants wept very sore.

en And they buried Abner in Hebron: and the king lifted up his voice, and wept at the grave of Abner; and all the people wept.

en I will take some savage woman, she shall rear my savage race.
  Alfred, Lord Tennyson

en Savage here, Savage there. He's the whole package. He's a legitimate back.

en If a man is a fool, you don't train him out of being a fool by sending him to university. You merely turn him into a trained fool, ten times more dangerous.

en I can think of no better way of redeeming this tragic world today than love and laughter. Too many of the young have forgotten how to laugh, and too many of the elders have forgotten how to love. Would not our lives be lightened if only we could all learn to laugh more easily at ourselves and to love one another.
  Theodore Hesburgh
