Tromp-l'oeil, by Samuel van Hoogstraten
Dorothy Parker
Four be the things I am wiser to know:
Idleness, sorrow, a friend, and a foe.
 
Four be the things I’d been better without:
Love, curiosity, freckles, and doubt.
 
Three be the things I shall never attain:
Envy, content, and sufficient champagne.
 
Three be the things I shall have till I die:
Laughter and hope and a sock in the eye.
Liked or faved by...
