A boy can be driven to learn till he loses half his wits; forced fruits have little flavor; a man at five is a fool at fifteen. Never mind the coat, give me the man; shells are nothing, the kernel is everything. There must be something very much amiss about a man who is not missed when he dies. Of all dust the worst for the eyes is gold dust. A bribe blinds the judgment, and riches darken the mind. We are all at school, and our great Teacher writes many a bright lesson on the black-board of affliction.
