BEAUCHAMPS CAREER, V2 [GM#60][GM60V10.TXT]4454

A dash of conventionalism makes the whole civilized world kin

Aimlessness of a woman's curiosity

All concessions to the people have been won from fear

Appealed to reason in them; he would not hear of convictions

Automatic creature is subject to the laws of its construction

Beautiful servicelessness

Canvassing means intimidation or corruption

Comfortable have to pay in occasional panics for the serenity

Consult the family means--waste your time

Convictions are generally first impressions

Country can go on very well without so much speech-making

Crazy zigzag of policy in almost every stroke (of history)

Dialectical stiffness

Effort to be reticent concerning Nevil, and communicative

Give our consciences to the keeping of the parsons

Hates a compromise

Man owes a duty to his class

Mark of a fool to take everybody for a bigger fool than himself

Martyrs of love or religion are madmen

Never pretend to know a girl by her face

No stopping the Press while the people have an appetite for it

Oratory will not work against the stream, or on languid tides

Parliament, is the best of occupations for idle men

Protestant clergy the social police of the English middle-class

The defensive is perilous policy in war

The family view is everlastingly the shopkeeper's

The infant candidate delights in his honesty

There is no first claim

There's nothing like a metaphor for an evasion

They're always having to retire and always hissing

Those happy men who enjoy perceptions without opinions

Those whose humour consists of a readiness to laugh

Threatened powerful drugs for weak stomachs

To beg the vote and wink the bribe

We can't hope to have what should be

We have a system, not planned but grown

World cannot pardon a breach of continuity
