2. All healthy people like their dinners, but their dinner is not the main object of their lives.—Ruskin.

3. Human nature has a much greater genius for sameness than for originality, or the world would be at a sad pass shortly.—Lowell.

4. They come together, not for exercise, but pleasure, and the more they crowd and cram and struggle, and the louder they scream, the greater the pleasure.—Warner.

5.

For tongueless things and silence have their speech.
