The historic German ruler, Frederick the Great, used to give this advice to his friends, "If you get sick and have to see a doctor, choose one who has already filled a couple of cemeteries."
Sometime later, a young specialist doctor was presented to him. So the first thing old Fritz, as he was
called, asked the young medic was, "And how many cemeteries have you filled?" With due respect he answered, "Not as many as you have, Your Majesty. And with much less publicity."
