Honoré Daumier

Marseille, 1808 - Valmondois, 1879

<MISADVENTURES AND DISAPPOINTMENT OF MR.GOGO>: (2) My son, you are wrong to risk your money in shares, the Stock Exchange is a den of swindlers, bitumen is a beastliness, the mines are precipices,... a wise man should enjoy his fortune quietly... — It's true, mother, I'm wrong, but I need some thousands of francs, and I've come to ask you... — My God!... I'd give it with pleasure... but ... frankly!... the card game ruined me this winter...
