Sayfa 98 - If you would be pungent, be brief; for it is with words as with sunbeams — the more they are condensed the deeper they burn.

Sayfa 140 - Some men, like pictures, are fitter for a corner than a full light ; and I believe such as have a natural bent to solitude are like waters, which may be forced into fountains, and exalted to a great height, may make a much nobler figure, and a much louder noise, but after all run more smoothly, equally, and plentifully, in their own natural course upon the ground.
Sayfa 130 - There are three things it takes a strong man to hold ; a young warrior, a wild horse, and a handsome squaw.
