A (rather long) bon mot for the week

"If you lend money to a friend, you have to treat it like betting on a horse and then not watching the race. If, a day or a week or a month later or whenever, some honest bookmaker sends a courier to your door with an envelope full of money, you can enjoy the feelings of delight, surprise, and relief. But you have to think of the money as gone, as soon as it leaves your hands. And never enquire into the result of the race."
