All the gold which is under or upon the earth is not enough to give in exchange for virtue.

Plato

[Johnny Unusual]

Not all is gold that glitters.

Polish Proverb

[Tripe]

All that glisters is not gold;
Often have you heard that told:
Many a man his life hath sold
But my outside to behold:
Gilded tombs do worms enfold.
Had you been as wise as bold,
Young in limbs, in judgement old
Your answer had not been inscroll'd
Fare you well, your suit is cold.

The Merchant of Venice Act II. Sc. vii

[wurwolf]

There was an Old Man of Kilkenny,
Who never had more than a penny;
He spent all that money,
In onions and honey,
That wayward Old Man of Kilkenny.

Edward Lear, The Book of Nonsense

[Tripe]

Nay, if thou talk of reason, then be mute;
For with good reason I can thee confute.
If they, which first by nature's sacred law,
Do owe to me the tribute of their lives;
If they to whom I always have been kind,
And bountiful beyond comparison;
If they, for whom I have undone myself,
And brought my age unto this extreme want,
Do now reject, contemn, despise, abhor me,
What reason moveth thee to sorrow for me?

King Leir A III S iii

Okay. You people sit tight, hold the fort, and keep the home fires burning. And if we're not back by dawn... call the president.

Bob Hauk: You go in, find the President, bring him out in less than 24 hours, and you're a free man.
Snake Plissken: Bullshit!
Bob Hauk: I'm making you an offer.
Snake Plissken: Get a new president.
Bob Hauk: Is that your answer?
Snake Plissken: I'm thinking about it.
Bob Hauk: Think hard. We're still at war. We need him alive.
Snake Plissken: I don't give a fuck about your war...or your president.

    President: I'm the President...I'm a powerful man...[Whispering]Please don't...I hate needles...I have money in my jacket...

    President: NAAAUU

    Surgeon: Money means nothing; art is our God.

    Surgeon 2: We're giving the president breasts, Mister Quain, whether he likes it or not. Magnificent breasts! Bigger than the sun!

    President: AUUU

    Neville Quain: Ever since I was a powerless little boy I've had a dream. I've wanted to fuck the President in the Ass while he sings 'Happy Birthday', just like Marilyn Monroe.

    Dwight: OK, this isn't the way I planned it, but you can make it alive as long as there's no funny stuff.
    Krusty: Don't worry about me. I was voted "America's Least Funny Clown"! Worse than Scummo, Scuzzo, Oopsie, Carlos Mencia, Stinko, Blumpy, even worse than Sergeant Serious. How could I do worse than him? I stole all his jokes!

Long live Pagliaccio!
Hurrah! You are the prince of clowns.
You banish all woes with your gaiety.
Hurrah!
Everyone applauds his jests,
follows his quips.
And he greets us gravely as he passes.
Long live Pagliaccio!
Great Heavens,
what a row!
