 No one who can read, ever looks at a book, even unopened on a shelf, like one who cannot. |
| Not presume to dictate, but broiled fowl and mushrooms - capital thing! |
| Not to put too fine a point upon it. |
| Now, I return to this young fellow. And the communication I have got to make is, that he has great expectations. |
| Now, what I want is Facts . . . Facts alone are wanted in life. |
| Now, what I want is, facts. Teach these boys and girls nothing but Facts. Facts alone are wanted in life. Plant nothing else, and root out everything else. You can only form the minds of reasoning animals upon Facts: nothing else will ever be of any service to them. This is the principle on which I bring up my own children, and this is the principle on which I bring up these children. Stick to Facts, sir! |

| Of all the ruinous and desolate places my uncle had ever beheld, this was the most so. It looked as if it had once been a large house of entertainment; but the roof had fallen in, in many places, and the stairs were steep, rugged, and broken.

| Oh! I know their tricks and their manners. |
