Authors
There are three difficulties in authorship: to write anything worth the publishing, to find honest men to publish it, and to get sensible men to read it.
Books
Many books require no thought from those who read them, and for a very simple reason-they made no such demand upon those who wrote them.
Books
Some read to think, these are rare; some to write, these are common; and some read to talk, and these form the great majority.
Examinations
Examinations are formidable even to the best prepared, for the greatest fool may ask more than the wisest man can answer.
Lawyers
Lawyers are the only civil delinquents whose judges must of necessity be chosen from themselves.
Marriage
Marriage is a feast where the grace is sometimes better than the dinner.
Misfortunes
Most of our misfortunes are more supportable than the comments of our friends upon them.
Riches
