“All appointments hurt. Five friends are made cold or hostile for every appointment; no new friends are made. All patronage is perilous to men of real ability or merit. It aids only those who lack other claims to public support.”

“Mark you the floore? that square & speckled stone,
Which looks so firm and strong,
Is Patience:”
