Happiness is three synonyms for a simpleton


 Have you no more manners than to rail at Hocus, that has saved that clod-pated, numskull'd, ninny-hammer of yours from ruin, and all his family?

  The juice of the lemon is more cooling and astringent than that of oranges.

-- John Arbuthnot (1667-1735)
