A cynical view of the world by Ambrose Bierce


n.

Uncommon patience in planning a revenge that is worth while.

    M is for Moses,
        Who slew the Egyptian.
    As sweet as a rose is
    The meekness of Moses.
    No monument shows his
        Post-mortem inscription,
    But M is for Moses
        Who slew the Egyptian.
