Show him your cane or give him a kick in the ass. He'll be astonished to find out he's a coward and will ask you how you found out, who told you. The moment before he was ignorant of the fact, for his long and habitual aping of bravery had impressed on him that he was.

spected, and respect is uncomfortable. Virtue makes itself admired, and admiration is not amusing. My business is with people who are bored, and I have to make them laugh. So I have to be ridiculous and funny. And if nature had not made me that way, the simplest thing would be to appear like that. Fortunately, I don't need to be a hypocrite. There are already so many of them of every stripe, without counting those who are hypocritical even with themselves. Take that Chevalier de la Morlière, who turns up his hat above his ears, who holds his head in the air, who looks at you over his shoulder as you go by, who has a long sword banging against his thigh, who has an insult ready for anyone who doesn't carry one, and who seems to be issuing a challenge to everyone coming along. What's he doing? Everything he can to persuade himself that he's a stout-hearted man. But he's a coward. Just tweak the end of his nose--he's take it quietly. If you want to make him lower his voice, raise you own. NG VIRTUE MAKES ITSELF RESPECTED AND RESPECT IS UNCOMFORTABLE VIRTUE MAKES ITSELF ADMIRED AND ADMIRATION IS NOT AMUSING MY BUSINESS IS WITH PEOPLE WHO ARE BORED AND I HAVE TO MAKE THEM LAUGH SO I HAVE TO BE RIDICULOUS AND FUNNY AND IF NATURE HAD NOT MADE ME THAT WAY THE SIMPLEST THING WOULD BE TO APPEAR LIKE THAT FORTUNATELY I DON'T NEED TO BE A HYPOCRITE THERE ARE ALREADY SO MANY OF THEM OF EVERY STRIPE WITHOUT COUNTING THOSE WHO ARE HYPOCRITICAL EVEN WITH THEMSELVES TAKE THAT CHEVALIER DE LA MORIERE WHO TURNS UP HIS HAT ABOVE HIS EARS WHO HOLDS HIS HEAD IN THE AIR WHO LOOKS AT YOU OVER HIS SHOULDER AS YOU GO BY WHO HAS A LONG SWORD BANGING AGAINST HIS THIGH WHO HAS AN INSULT READY FOR ANYONE WHO DOESN'T CARRY ONE AND WHO SEEMS TO BE ISSUING A CHALLENGE TO EVERY ONE COMING ALONG WHAT'S HE DOING EVERYTHING HE CAN TO PERSUADE HIMSELF THAT HE'S A STOUT HEARTED MAN BUT HE'S A COWARD JUST TWICK THE END OF HIS NOSE HE'LL TAKE IT QUIETLY IF YOU WANT TO MAKE HIM LOWER HIS VOICE RAISE YOUR OWN
