    No man’s nature is able to know what is best for the social state of man; or, knowing, always able to do what is best.
    Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)

    Frustrate a Frenchman, he will drink himself to death; an Irishman, he will die of angry hypertension; a Dane, he will shoot himself; an American, he will get drunk, shoot you, then establish a million dollar aid program for your relatives. Then he will die of an ulcer.
