IK MARVEL (PSEUDONYM OF DONALD G. MITCHELL) American writer (1822 - 1908) The Spaniards have a saying that there is no man whom Fortune does not visit at least once in his life.       - [Fortune] Why should man's high aspiring mind   Burn in him with so proud a breath;     When all his haughty views can find       In this world, yield to death;         The fair, the brave, the vain, the wise,           The rich, the poor, the great, the small,             Are each but worms' anatomies,               To strew his quiet hall.       - [Death] But wealth is a great means of refinement; and it is a security for gentleness, since it removes disturbing anxieties.       - Reveries of a Bachelor--Over his Cigar          (III) [Wealth] Coquetry whets the appetite; flirtation depraves it. Coquetry is the thorn that guards the rose--easily trimmed off when once plucked. Flirtation is like the slime on water-plants, making them hard to handle, and when caught, only to be cherished in slimy waters.       - Reveries of a Bachelor--Sea Coal (I)         [Coquetry] The GIGA name and the GIGA logo are trademarks registered in the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
