Except during the nine months before he draws his first breath, no man manages his affairs as well as a tree. We are inclined to believe those whom we do not know because they have never deceived us.

Home life is no more natural to us than a cage is natural to a cockatoo.

We know but a few men, a great many coats and breeches.
