Summary

This quote suggests that the speaker is in Las Vegas and has just arrived when they receive information that bookmakers are placing bets that Frank, presumably an important person, will not attend the speaker's wedding. This could imply that Frank has a reputation for being unreliable or perhaps has a strained relationship with the speaker. The quote captures the uncertainty and unpredictability of events in Las Vegas, where even the attendance of an important person at a wedding becomes a subject of bookmaking.

It's up to you to be responsible for how you feel if you're not happy. Your happiness lies in your hands. You can't rely on a man to make you happy or complete you. That starts with you.

Here's the truth. The proposed top rate of income tax is not 50 per cent. It is 50 per cent plus 1.5 per cent national insurance paid by employees plus 13.3 per cent paid by employers. That's not 50 per cent. Two years from now, Britain will have the highest tax rate on earned income of any developed country.

Up to the present man has hardly cultivated sympathy at all.

Up to the present man has hardly cultivated sympathy at all. He has merely sympathy with pain, and sympathy with pain is not the highest form of sympathy. All sympathy is fine, but sympathy with suffering is the least fine mode. It is tainted with egotism. It is apt to become morbid. There is in it a certain element of terror for our own safety. We become afraid that we ourselves might be as the leper or as the blind, and that no man would have care of us. It is curiously limiting, too. One should sympathise with the entirety of life, not with life's sores and maladies merely, but with life's joy and beauty and energy and health and freedom.
