'Comparison is the thief of joy'
Attrib. Theodore Roosevelt

Martin Luther Oct 12, 1520 (although back dated to Sept 6, 1520), from "An Open Letter To Pope Leo X"

Wife: "There is some guy here that won't stop talking. He is an expert on every subject."
Me: "Too bad I didn't go. I could correct him."

Reminds me of "man, that circus was in tents"

Maybe that was his mistake
