A Man Who Uses A Great Many Words To Express His Meaning Is Like A Bad Marksman Who, Instead Of Aiming A Single Stone At An Object, Takes Up A Handful And Throws At It In Hopes He May Hit.

Sir, I Have No Objection To A Man's Drinking Wine, If He Can Do It In Moderation.

Every Man Is To Judge For Himself, According To The Effects Which He Experiences.
