One may be continually abusive without saying any thing just, but one cannot be always laughing at a man without now and then stumbling on something witty.
Whipping and abuse are like laudanum, you have to double the dose as the sensibilities decline.
An injury is much sooner forgotten than an insult.
I do not waste my time in answering abuse, I thrive under it like a field that benefits from manure.
We like so much to hear people talk of us and of our motives, that we are charmed even when they abuse us.
