One Is Always More Vexed At Losing

Satirists Gain The Applause Of Others Through Fear, Not Through Love.

A Man Who Is Determined Never To Move Out Of The Beaten Road Cannot Lose His Way.

However We May Flatter Ourselves To The Contrary, Our Friends Think No Higher Of Us Than The World Do. They See Us Through The Jaundiced Or Distrustful Eyes Of Others. They May Know Better, But Their Feelings Are Governed By Popular Prejudice. Nay, They Are More Shy Of Us (when Under A Cloud) Than Even Strangers; For We Involve Them In A Common Disgrace, Or Compel Them To Embroil Themselves In Continual Quarrels And Disputes In Our Defense.
