I would rather sit on a pumpkin and have it all to myself,
than be crowded on a velvet cushion.
I have a great deal of company in my house;
especially in the morning, when nobody calls.
Some circumstantial evidence is very strong,
as when you find a trout in the milk.
I had three pieces of limestone on my desk,
but I was terrified to find that they required to be dusted daily,
when the furniture of my mind was all undusted still,
and threw them out the window in disgust.
If a man does not keep pace with his companions,
perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer.
