I have known men who have been sold and bought a hundred times, who have only got very fat and very comfortable in the process of exchange.
Ouida
A cruel story runs on wheels, and every hand oils the wheels as they run.
Ouida
The heart of silver falls ever into the hands of brass. The sensitive herb is eaten as grass by the swine.
