"A newspaper consists of just the same number of words, whether there be any news in it or not. "

"Adversity is the trial of principle. Without it a man hardly knows whether he is honest or not. "

"Make money your god and it will plague you like the devil. "

"Now, in reality, the world have paid too great a compliment to critics, and have imagined them to be men of much greater profundity then they really are. "
