Thare iz this mutch kan be sed in favour ov good-breeding, it iz the only thing that kan make a phool endurable.
Thare ain’t mutch phun in phisick, but thare iz a good deal ov phisick in phun.
Men will forgit injurys eazier than kontempt; they had rather be hated than not noticed.
I hav bin watching human intercourse a little lately, and i find it is largely made up ov grunts, groans and growls, varied with huffs, hoots, and howls.
I like a good hater, but i want him able tew giv good reazons for it.
About the emptyest thing i kno ov iz a pocket-book, with nothing in it—it iz rather wuss than a knot-hole.
The man who pitys everyboddy, wants watching, for the chances are that he iz gitting phatt slily on other peoples misfortunes.
It seems tew me that good breeding iz the art ov making everyboddy satisfied with themselfs, and pleased with you.
The man whom forgivness wont humble iz a brute.
