The truth is, the more kind and liberal a man is, the more generous will be the patronage bestowed upon him.

If I was not a remarkably modest man, I should probably brag a little, and say that I had done what no American ever before accomplished by visiting the queen at her palace twice within eight days.

As a general thing, I have not 'duped the world' nor attempted to do so... I have generally given people the worth of their money twice told.
