Words calculated to catch everyone may catch no one.

It is in vain to hope to please all alike. Let a man stand with his face in what direction he will, he must necessarily turn his back on one half of the world.

Now and then, this look of commendation would rest particularly on you; whenever this happened, it was as if, in his delight, he had reached over and squeezed you.

Take here the grand secret-if not of pleasing all, yet of displeasing none-court mediocrity, avoid originality, and sacrifice to fashion.

How I like to be liked, and what I do to be liked!

Please all, and you will please none.
