It is not worth the while to live by rich cookery.

Morning glory is the best name, it always refreshes me to see it.

I should not talk so much about myself if there were anybody else whom I knew as well.

The botanist should make interest with the bees if he would know when the flowers open and when they close.

While the Republic has already acquired a history world-wide, America is still unsettled and unexplored. Like the English in New Holland, we live only on the shores of a continent even yet, and hardly know where the rivers come from which float our navy.

My life is like a stroll upon the beach.
