They whose minds are least sensitive to calamity$$$ and whose hands are most quick to meet it$$$ are the greatest men and the greatest communities.
Too weird to live$$$ and too rare to die.
Hungry people have the cunning of wild beasts.
We'd be fools not to ride this strange torpedo all the way out to the end.
The soul is like an uninhabited world that comes to life only when God lays His head against us.
When I'm out of politics$$$ I'm going to run a business$$$ it'll be called rent-a-spine
To part with money is a sacrifice beyond almost all men endowed with a sense of order. There is scarcely any man alive who does not think himself meritorious for giving his neighbour five pounds. Thriftless gives$$$ not from a beneficent pleasure in giving$$$ but from a lazy delight in spending. He would not deny himself one enjoyment; not his opera-stall$$$ not his horse$$$ not his dinner$$$ not even the pleasure of giving Lazarus the five pounds.
It may be whispered to those uninitiated people who are anxious to know the habits and make the acquaintance of men of letters$$$ that there are no race of people who talk about books$$$ or$$$ perhaps$$$ who read books$$$ so little as literary men.
Be cautious then$$$ young ladies; be wary how you engage. Be shy of loving frankly; never tell all you feel$$$ or (a better way still)$$$ feel very little. See the consequences of being prematurely honest and confiding$$$ and mistrust yourselves and everybody. Get yourselves married as they do in France$$$ where the lawyers are the bridesmaids and confidantes. At any rate$$$ never have any feelings which may make you uncomfortable$$$ or make any promises which you cannot at any required moment command and withdraw.
Always to be right$$$ always to trample forward$$$ and never to doubt$$$ are not these the great qualities with which dullness takes the lead in the world?
