I take it, that the excellence of human natur consists in lifting the greatest amount ov sorrow with the least amount ov grin.
Them who make the most blow, hav the least fragranse—it iz jess so with the hollerhauk.
The best edukashun a man receives in this life, he gits just before he dize, and it mostly consists in forgetting what he haz larnt before.
The world looks with kold respek upon an ackt ov justiss, but heave up their hats at a display ov mersy. Yet the one iz the strength ov virtue, while the other iz most often its gratest weakness.
A mind that haz more imaginashun than sense iz like a goose—fust rate tew fli down hill.
I don't think the world haz enny Civilizashun tew spare, but i think she haz more than she kan manage well.
Poetri, tew be excellent, wants tew be like natur, but about 4 times az big.
