Every generous illusion adds a wrinkle in vanishing. Experience is the
successive disenchantment of the things of life. It is reason enriched
by the spoils of the heart.--_J. Petit Senn._
~Extravagance.~--Expenses are not rectilinear, but circular. Every inch
you add to the diameter adds three to the circumference.--_Charles
Buxton._
~Extremes.~--Extremes are dangerous; a middle estate is safest; as a
middle temper of the sea, between a still calm and a violent tempest, is
most helpful to convey the mariner to his haven.--_Swinnock._
