To show the people the best way to break.
My plan (but I, if but for singularity,
Reserve it) will be very sure to take.

[614] [Johnson would not believe that "a complete miser is a happy man." "That," he said, "is flying in the face of all the world, who have called an avaricious man a miser, because he is miserable. No, sir; a man who both spends and saves money is the happiest man, because he has both enjoyments."—Boswell's Life of Johnson, 1876, p. 605.]
