Quote by Ronald Reagan

Recession is when your neighbor loses his job. Depression is when you lose yours. And recovery is when Jimmy Carter loses his.

Recession is when your neighbor loses his job. Depression is

Summary

This quote humorously depicts how severe economic downturns are perceived differently based on personal experiences and political leanings. Recession, though unfortunate, seems less impactful when only observing someone else's hardship. However, the situation becomes more serious when individuals directly lose their jobs, referred to as a depression. The notion of recovery, sarcastically tied to former President Jimmy Carter's failing popularity, implies that economic improvement is often associated with political change. Overall, the quote highlights the varying degrees of concern and skepticism towards economic crises, depending on the proximity of their consequences and political beliefs.

Drama is based on the Mistake. I think someone is my friend

Drama is based on the Mistake. I think someone is my friend when he really is my enemy, that I am free to marry a woman when in fact she is my mother, that this person is a chambermaid when it is a young nobleman in disguise, that this well-dressed young man is rich when he is really a penniless adventurer, or that if I do this such and such a result will follow when in fact it results in something very different. All good drama has two movements, first the making of the mistake, then the discovery that it was a mistake.
