“God grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked anyway, the good fortune to run into the ones I do, and the eyesight to tell the difference”. (The text on a birthday card produced by Oatmeal Studios, of North Adams, Massachusetts).

Witty, but Epicurean, too. Don’t waste time on disagreeable people, enjoy the friends who are real friends, as opposed to acquaintances, and work on your health, including eyesight, all for a pleasant life.
