'Tis a superstition to insist on a special diet. All is made at last of the same chemical atoms.
Ralph Waldo EmersonMy gentleman gives the law where he is; he will outpray saints in chapel, outgeneral veterans in the field, and outshine all courtesy in the hall. He is good company for pirates, and good with academicians; so that it is useless to fortify yourself against him; he has the private entrance to all minds, and I could as easily exclude myself, as him.
