Love is the magician, the enchanter, that changes worthless things to joy, and makes right royal kings and queens of common clay.

Don't worry about your physical shortcomings. I am no Greek

Don't worry about your physical shortcomings. I am no Greek god. Don't get too much sleep and don 't tell anybody your troubles. Appearances count: Get a sun lamp to keep you looking as though you have just come back from somewhere expensive: maintain an elegant address even if you have to live in the attic. Never nickel when short of cash. Borrow big, but always repay promptly.
