As my mother used to say, guests are like cakes: if you keep them too long, they turn rancid and become inedible.

"The world is a stage, and we are merely players."
"I have no ambitions to be a great man. I just want to be a good man."
"The world is a tragedy for those who feel, but a comedy for those who think."
"Judge a man not by how he treats his equals but by how he treats his inferiors."
"The greatest mistakes are made in haste."
About Charlie Chaplin (1889-1977)
English comic actor and silent-film auteur whose Tramp character defined early Hollywood and whose The Great Dictator (1940) satirized Hitler. Closely associated with Buster Keaton (silent-comedy peer of equal stature) and Harold Lloyd (third silent-comedy giant). For an intellectual contrast, see J. Edgar Hoover, FBI director (1924-1972) — Hoover pursued Chaplin for years on suspected communist sympathies, leading to the 1952 revocation of Chaplin's US re-entry permit and his Swiss exile — Hoover represented the McCarthy-era national-security state that was the institutional opposite of Chaplin's pro-immigrant Tramp humanism.
