Making sport of neighbors...

In the time when organized (team) sports were virtually nonexistent, and personal entertainment did not center around movies and gaming consoles, this quote provides an honest account of how British society amused themselves:

For what do we live, but to make sport for our neighbours, and laugh at them in our turn?

I find it amusing myself.

(The quote was delivered by Mr. Bennet in Pride and Prejudice.)
