Two good quotes

Two very good quotes (quips, if you will) were brought to my attention recently, and I just thought it a splendid idea to share them. I believe they speak for themselves:

"The world is a comedy to those who think and a tragedy to those who feel" -- Horace Walpole

"Politics is the art of preventing people from taking part in affairs which properly concern them." -- Paul Valery
