Human nature is so well disposed towards those who are in interesting situations, that a young person, who either marries or dies, is sure to be kindly spoken of. One has no great hopes from Birmingham. I always say there is something direful in the sound. , She was nothing more than a mere good-tempered, civil and obliging young woman; as such we could scarcely dislike her - she was only an Object of Contempt. A woman, especially if she have the misfortune of knowing anything, should conceal it as well as she can.

It is as natural to die as to be born; and to a little infant, perhaps, the one is as painful as the other. Riches are for spending. He who is delighted in solitude is either a wild beast or a god. In charity there is no excess. He that hath wife and children hath given hostages to fortune; for they are impediments to great enterprises, either of virtue or mischief. The joys of parents are secret, and so are their griefs and fears. Children sweeten labours, but they make misfortunes more bitter. Money is like muck, not good except it be spread.

In antiquity...slaves were, in all honesty, called slaves. In the Middle Ages, they took the name of serfs; nowadays, they are called wage earnersBSince the natural inclinations of mankind are so evil that its liberty must be taken away, how is it that the inclinations of the socialists are good? Are not the legislators and their agents part of the human race? Do they believe themselves moulded from another clay than the rest of mankind? They say that society, left to itself, heads inevitably for destruction because its instincts are perverse. They demand the power to stop mankind from sliding down this fatal declivity and to impose a better direction on it. If, then, they have received from Heaven intelligence and virtues that place them beyond and above mankind, let them show their credentials. They want to be shepherds, and they want us to be their sheep.AA musicologist is a man who can read music but can't hear it.There are two golden rules for an orchestra: start together and finish together.

It is His trade.AThe rules of strategy are few and simple. They may be learned in a week. They may be taught by familiar illustrations or a dozen diagrams. But such knowledge will no more teach a man to lead an army like Napoleon than a knowledge of grammar will teach him to write like Gibbon.AWhen we call a capitalist society a consumers' democracy, we mean that the power to dispose of the means of production, which belongs to the capitalists and entrepreneurs, can only be acquired by means of the consumers' ballot, held daily in the market placewEThe Curfew tolls the knell of parting day, The lowing herd winds slowly o'er the lea, The ploughman homeward plods his weary way, And leaves the world to darkness and to me.Let not Ambition mock their useful toil, Their homely joys, and destiny obscure; Nor Grandeur hear with a disdainful smile, The short and simple annals of the poor. The boast of heraldry, the pomp of pow'r, And all that beauty, all that wealth e'er gave,Awaits alike th' inevitable hour, The paths of glory lead but to the grave. Can storied urn or animated bust Back to its mansion call the fleeting breath? Can honour's voice provoke the silent dust, Or flatt'ry soothe the dull cold ear of death? Full many a gem of purest ray serene, The dark unfathom'd caves of ocean bear: Full many a flower is born to blush unseen, And waste its sweetness on the desert air. Some village-Hampden, that with dauntless breast The little Tyrant of his fields withstood; Some mute inglorious Milton here may rest, Some Cromwell guiltless of his country's blood. Far from the madding crowd's ignoble strife, Their sober wishes never learn'd to stray; Along the cool sequester'd vale of life They kept the noiseless tenor of their way. Here rests his head upon the lap of Earth A youth to fortune and to fame unknown. Fair Science frown'd not on his humble birth, And Melancholy mark'd him for her own.AIn most cases, American confusion over accents can be put down to an insensitivity of the ear unequalled anywhere on earth. Only adders have worse hearing than Americans, and they at least take the precaution of shunning society Dancing is a wonderful thing not to be able to do F.. planning and competition can be combined only by planning for competition, but not by planning against competition British strength, British character, and British achievements are to a great extent the result of a cultivation of the spontaneous Who imagines that there exist any common ideals of distributive justice such as will make the Norwegian fisherman consent to forgo the prospect of economic improvement in order to help his Portuguese fellow, or the Dutch worker to pay more for his bicycle to help the Coventry mechanic, or the French peasant to pay more taxes to assist the industrialisation of Italy?  If most people are not prepared to see the difficulty, this is mainly because, consciously or unconsciously, they assume that it will be they who will settle these questions for the others, and because they are convinced of their own capacity to do this justly and equitably. English people, perhaps even more than others, begin to realise what such schemes mean only when it is presented to them that they might be a minority in the planning authority, and that the main lines of the future economic development of Great Britain might be determined by a non-British majority. To imagine that the economic life of a vast area comprising many different people can be directed or planned by democratic procedure betrays a complete lack of awareness of the problems such planning would raise. Planning on an international scale, even more than is true on a national scale, cannot be anything but a naked rule of force..
