Great picture, sweetheart. Hope you enjoyed the Chinese as much as you enjoyed the time with the half-chinese this morning.

Though all objects are of desire, not all things are attainable; desire will always exceed the power of attainment, hence all men are ill-content with what they possess and their present state leaves them dissatisfied. The vicissitudes of their fortune.

"How can you measure acting in inches?"
It's a shortened variant of Machiavelli's teachings, from one of his books, the Discourses on Livy.
Book 1, Ch. 37 Variant: Nature has so contrived that to men, though all things are objects of desire, not all things are attainable; so that desire always exceeds the power of attainment, with the result that men are ill-content with what they possess and their present state brings them little satisfaction. Hence arise the vicissitudes of their fortune.
