rank, it would be when the privileged themselves remember it.--_Madame
Swetchine._

metal better.--_Wycherley._
Of the king's creation you may be; but he who makes a count ne'er made a
man.--_Southerne._
~Rashness.~--Rashness and haste make all things insecure.--_Denham._
We may outrun by violent swiftness that which we run at, and lose by
overrunning.--_Shakespeare._
~Reading.~--Read, and refine your appetite; learn to live upon
instruction; feast your mind and mortify your flesh; read, and take your
nourishment in at your eyes, shut up your mouth, and chew the cud of
understanding.--_Congreve._
