 He gossips habitually; he lacks the common wisdom to keep still that deadly enemy of man, his own tongue |
| He had discovered a great law of human action, without knowing it- namely, in order to make a man or a boy covet a thing, it is only necessary to make the thing difficult to attain |
| He had only one vanity; he thought he could give advice better than any other person |
| He has been a doctor a year now and has had two patients, no, three, I think / yes, it was three; I attended their funerals. |
| He is now rising from affluence to poverty. |
| He is useless on top of the ground; he ought to be under it, inspiring the cabbages |
| He liked to like people, therefore people liked him. |
| He said, 'I've never seen a festival where the whole nation gets behind an event. The Cup astonishes'. We are still thinking the same thing. |
| He saw nearly all things as through a glass eye, darkly |
| He was a preacher, too... and never charged nothing for his preaching, and it was worth it, too. |
| He was as shy as a newspaper is when referring to its own merits |
| He would go to Halifax for half a chance to show off and he would go to hell for a whole one |
| Heaven for climate, hell for society. |
| Heaven goes by favor; if it went by merit, you would stay out and your dog would go in |
| Heaven is by favor; if it were by merit your dog would go in and you would stay out. Of all the creatures ever made man is the most detestable. Of the entire brood, he is the only one that possesses malice. He is the only creature that inflicts pain for sport, knowing it to be pain. |
