Come, let us take a lesson from our forefathers, and enjoy the Christmas holyday.
An accomplished man to his fingertips.
High descent and meritorious deeds, unless united to wealth, are as useless as seaweed.
Blind self-love, vanity, lifting aloft her empty head, and indiscretion, prodigal of secrets more transparent than glass, follow close behind.
It is not every man that can afford to go to Corinth.
He will often have to scratch his head, and bite his nails to the quick. [To succeed he will have to puzzle his brains and work hard.]
