There is no use in your walking five miles to fish when you can depend on being just as unsuccessful near home. Mark Twain A man can't keep his functions regular on spring chickens thirteen hundred years old. They are good to have, of course, for the ordinary exigencies of life, but they are no use in professional work. An aristocracy, is but a band of slaveholders under another name. There isn't anything you can't stand, if you are only born and bred to it.
Naked people have little or no influence on society.
Where every people in a State has a vote, brutal laws are impossible. Where power is supreme, one can do as one likes and suffer no injury. You can't throw too much style into a miracle. It cost trouble, and work, and sometimes money. Each man must for himself alone decide what is right and what is wrong, which course is patriotic and which isn't.
