Laughter and Lament Never underrate, even to a jot, the true significance of lament in comparison with the piquancy of laughter. In life, a moment's lament may be very often far more significant than a whole aeon's laughter. The core of life undone by laughter born of indifference, may well be reclaimed by a drop of tear swelling from the lament of remorse. How infinitely more meaningful from this point of view is lament compared with laughter!
Eagle-Eye One who would correctly assess from the facial expression of a person the shade of opinion the latter might be holding in respect of the former, is a man among men, a man gifted with an eagle-eye!
World Topsy-Turvy A person may be lowly, but his merits be distinguished; on the other hand, the attributes may be lowly, while their owner be dignified in appearance. If you go out in search of such cases, you will find innumerable instances thereof in this topsy-turvy world of ours !
