We Are Fonder Of Visiting Our Friends In Health Than In Sickness. We Judge Less Favorably Of Their Characters When Any Misfortune Happens To Them; And A Lucky Hit, Either In Business Or Reputation, Improves Even Their Personal Appearance In Our Eyes.

One Shining Quality Lends A Lustre To Another, Or Hides Some Glaring Defect.

Of All Eloquence A Nickname Is The Most Concise; Of All Arguments The Most Unanswerable.
