Ceremonies Are Different In Every Country, But True Politeness Is Everywhere The Same.

As Boys Should Be Educated With Temperance, So The First Greatest Lesson That Should Be Taught Them Is To Admire Frugality. It Is By The Exercise Of This Virtue Alone They Can Ever Expect To Be Useful Members Of Society.

I Have Found By Experience That They Who Have Spent All Their Lives In Cities Contract Not Only An Effeminacy Of Habit, But Of Thinking.
