A Bachelor, In My Opinion, Is Only

I Am A Fool. That Is Well Known.

I Never Lie Down At Night Without Reflecting That, Young As I Am, I May Not Live To See Another Day.

I Cannot Write In Verse, For I Am No Poet. I Cannot Arrange The Parts Of Speech With Such Art As To Produce Effects Of Light And Shade, For I Am No Painter. Even By Signs And Gestures I Cannot Express My Thoughts And Feelings, For I Am No Dancer. But I Can Do So By Means Of Sounds, For I Am A Musician.

One Must Not Make Oneself Cheap Here - That Is A Cardinal Point - Or Else One Is Done. Whoever Is Most Impertinent Has The Best Chance.

God First, Then Papa.
