“There's nothing like being in fashion. A man that has once got his character up for a wit is always sure of a laugh, say what he may.

Wit and coin are always doubted with a threadbare coat.” MenMayCharacterSidesPoorLaughingRichFashionPleaseJokesDevilCurrentsWitNonsenseCoatsBoth SidesCoinsRich ManDoubtedGuinea Book:The Complete Tales of Washington Irving Source: The Complete Tales of Washington Irving
