    “There are two places in the world where men can most effectively disappear—the city of London and the South Seas.”
    —Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    “Good breeding and good nature do incline us rather to help and raise people up to ourselves, than to mortify and depress them, and, in truth, our own private interest concurs in it, as it is making ourselves so many friends, instead of so many enemies.”
    —Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
