The murmuring poor, who will not fast in peace. — George Crabbe

"A master passion is the love of news."

"Secrets with girls, like loaded guns with boys, Are never valued till they make a noise."

"Habit with him was all the test of truth, It must be right: I’ve done it from my youth."

"Our farmers round, well pleased with constant gain, Like other farmers, flourish and complain."

"The mind here exhibited is one untouched by pity, unstung by remorse, and uncorrected by shame; yet is this hardihood of temper and spirit broken by want, disease, solitude, and disappointment, and he becomes the victim of a distempered and horror-stricken fancy."

"Where Plenty smiles - alas! she smiles for few, And those who taste not, yet behold her store, Are as the slaves that dig the golden ore, The wealth around them makes them doubly poor."
