“To get wealth and security by guile
Is like one who pours water into a pot of unbaked clay.”

“The trenchant editorials plus the keen rivalry natural to extremely partisan papers made it necessary for the editors to be expert pugilists and duelists as well as journalists. An editor made no assertion that he could not defend with fists or firearms.”
