PHILOSOPHY OF THE TATLER

Lots of -people act as chief witnesi at their own prosecution. . When two fascinating people meet they usually hate each other. Life consists of learning, knowing, teaching, and then forgetting. By all means tell people what you think of them if you don’t care what they think of you. If women only knew it, sympathy and cushions nearly always make a man uncomfortable. Actors are not the only public characters who "make up” when they have to face the limelight. Think what an amusing time some people would have if they could see themselves as others see them. A man with lots of money to leave and impecunious heirs need never feel that no one cares whether he lives or dies. Life is like a moving staircase —one must always be going forward. It is a pity. It would be so nice if one could go back sometimes and pick up some of the things one dropped before one realized their value.
