“The receipt to make a speaker, and an applauded one too, is short and easy.—Take of common sense quantum sufficit, add a little application to the rules and orders of the House, throw obvious thoughts in a new light, and make up the whole with a large quantity of purity, correctness, and elegancy of style.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
“... no one with a happy childhood ever amounts to much in this world. They are so well adjusted, they never are driven to achieve anything.”
—Sue Grafton (b. 1940)
