Smell about them which is peculiar but
not entertaining
Takes your enemy and your friend,
working together, to hurt you
The man with a new idea is a Crank
until the idea succeeds
To a delicate stomach even imaginary
smoke can convey damage
Tourists showing how things ought to be
managed
Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry
and narrow-mindedness
Uncomplaining impoliteness
Very pleasant man if you were not in
his way
Virtuous to the verge of eccentricity
Wasn’t worth a cent two years ago, and
now I owe two millions
We ought never to do wrong when people
are looking
We must create, a public opinion, said
Senator Dilworthy
Well provided with cigars and other
necessaries of life
What’s a fair wind for us is a head
wind to them
Whichever one they get is the one they
want
Worth while to get tired out, because
one so enjoys resting
Wrinkles should merely indicate where
smiles have been
Your absence when you are present
FOLLOWING THE EQUATOR
Against nature to take an interest in familiar things
Age after age, the barren and meaningless process
All life seems to be sacred except human life
But there are liars everywhere this year
Capacity must be shown (in other work); in the law,
concealment of it will do
Christmas brings harassment and dread to many excellent
people
Climate which nothing can stand except rocks
Creature which was everything in general and nothing
in particular
Custom supersedes all other forms of law
Death in life; death without its privileges
Every one is a moon, and has a dark side
Exercise, for such as like that kind of work
Explain the inexplicable
Faith is believing what you know ain’t so
Forbids betting on a sure thing
Forgotten fact is news when it comes again
Get your formalities right—never mind about
the moralities
Give thanks that Christmas comes but once a year
Good protections against temptations; but the surest
is cowardice
Goody-goody puerilities and dreary moralities
Habit of assimilating incredibilities
Human pride is not worth while
Hunger is the handmaid of genius
If the man doesn’t believe as we do, we say
he is a crank
Inherited prejudices in favor of hoary ignorances
It is easier to stay out than get out
Man is the only animal that blushes—or
needs to
Meddling philanthropists
Melt a brass door-knob and weather which will only
make it mushy
Moral sense, and there is an Immoral Sense
Most satisfactory pet—never coming when
he is called
Natural desire to have more of a good thing than he
needs
Neglected her habits, and hadn’t any
