All reformers, however strict their social conscience, live in houses just as big as they can pay for.
People say that life is the thing, but I prefer reading.

The world is not unkind, and reprobates are worse than their reputations.
If you want to be thought a liar, always tell the truth
If we shake hands with icy fingers, it is because we have burnt them so horribly before.
