In new situations, I look carefully at appearances. In familiar ones, I glance.

I change my opinions often, but not my way of thinking.

Living too long exacts a painful price.

The best hand always believes in playing by the rules.

Worried about being a dull fellow? You might develop your talent for being irritating.

The nonsense that charms is close to sense.

Once I find the right maxim to apply, I feel that I have done all that can be expected of me.
