The mob will now and then see things in a right light.
The cask will long retain the flavour of the wine with which it was first seasoned.
Learned or unlearned we all must be scribbling.
Let us seize, friends, our opportunity from the day as it passes.
You must often make erasures if you mean to write what is worthy of being read a second time; and don't labor for the admiration of the crowd, but be content with a few choice readers.
Not to be lost in idle admiration is the only sure means of making and preserving happiness.
