Inventory by Dorothy Parker
Four be the things I am wiser to know: Idleness, sorrow, a friend, and a foe. Four be the things I’d been better without:
Love, curiosity, freckles, and doubt. Three be the things I shall never attain: Envy, content, and sufficient champagne. Three be the things I shall have till I die:
Laughter and hope and a sock in the eye.
Champagne is one of the elegant extras in life.
– Charles Dickens
