“Talleyrand said that two things are essential in life: to give good dinners and to keep on fair terms with women.

“Wed like to fight but we fear defeat,
Wed like to work but were feeling too weak,
Wed like to be sick but wed get the sack,
Wed like to behave, wed like to believe,
Wed like to love, but weve lost the knack.”
