Thanks, oftenest obtrusive.

A miser grows rich by seeming poor. An extravagant man grows poor by seeming rich.

Men of quality never appear more amiable than when their dress is plain. Their birth, rank, title and its appendages are at best indivious and as they do not need the assistance of dress, so, by their disclaiming the advantage of it, they make their superiority sit more easy.

Laws are generally found to be nets of such a texture, as the little creep through, the great break through, and the middle-sized are alone entangled in it.

Persons are oftentimes misled in regard to their choice of dress by attending to the beauty of colors, rather than selecting such colors as may increase their own beauty.

Let us be careful to distinguish modesty, which is ever amiable, from reserve, which is only prudent.

The regard one shows economy, is like that we show an old aunt who is to leave us something at last.
