"That ready wit, which you so partially allow me, ... may create many admirers; but, take my word for it, it makes few friends. It shines and dazzles like the noonday sun, but, like that, too, it is very apt to scorch, and therefore is always feared.The milder morning and evening light and heat of that planet soothe and calm our minds. Never seek for wit; if it present itself, well and good; but even then, let your judgement interpose, and take care that it be not at the expense of anybody."
- Philip Dormer Stanhope,
4th earl of Chesterfield,
1749

| |  | | | In Brief
The author argues that "projects ostensibly aimed at easing and eliminating the world's misery have often, at great expense, increased it. . . . Aidorganizations, according to Hancock, tend to become overgrown, feeding more money to the maintenance of bureaucracies than to relieving hunger." (Publisher's note) Index.
