He was a man, take him for all in all, I shall not look upon his like again. --_Shakespeare._ 1198 A truly great man never puts away the simplicity of the child. --_Chinese._ 1199 He who does not advance, goes backward; recedes. --_From the Latin._ 1200 A man who is amiable will make almost as many friends as he does acquaintances. 1201 An angry man is often angry with himself when he returns to reason. --_Publius Syrus._ 1202 AN OLD MAN OF ACUTE PHYSIOGNOMY. An old man answering to the name of Joseph Wilmot, was brought before the police court. His clothes looked as if they had been bought second hand in his youthful prime. "What business?" "None; I'm a traveler." "A vagabond, perhaps?" "You are not far wrong: the difference between the two, is, that the latter travel without money, and the former without brains." "Where have you traveled?" "All over the continent." "For what purpose?" "Observation." "What have you observed?" "A little to commend, much to censure, and very much to laugh at." "Humph! What do you commend?" "A handsome women that will stay at home, an eloquent divine that will preach short sermons, a good writer that will not write too much, and a fool that has seen enough to hold his tongue." "What do you censure?" "A man who marries a girl for fine clothing, a youth who studies law while he has the use of his hands, and the people who elect a drunkard to office." "What do you laugh at?" "At a man who expects his position to command the respect which his personal qualities and qualifications do not merit." He was dismissed. 1203 Every man is a volume, if you know how to read him. --_W. E. Channing._ 1204 As no man is born without faults, the best is he who has the fewest. 1205 Burns, the poet, when in Edinburgh one day, recognized an old farmer friend, and courteously saluted him, and crossed the street to have a chat; some of his new Edinburgh friends gave him a gentle rebuke, to which he replied:--"It was not the old great-coat, the scone bonnet, that I spoke to, but the man that was in them." 1206 MAN.
