Nothing new here, except my marrying, which to me is a matter of profound wonder.

Everybody likes compliment.

I always [or "often"] walk slowly, but I never walk backwards.

My father, at the death of his father, was but six years of age; and he grew up, literally without education.

I never trusted a man who never smoked or drank.

I am very glad indeed to see you to-night, and yet I will not say I thank you for this call, but I do most sincerely thank Almighty God for the occasion on which you have called.

Wanting to work is so rare a merit, that it should be encouraged.
