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 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.
