3 quotes

Satire should, like a polished razor keen,
Wound with a touch that's scarcely felt or seen.

Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, 10th ed (1919)

But the fruit that can fall without shaking
Indeed is too mellow for me.

Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, 10th ed (1919)

Be plain in dress, and sober in your diet;
In short, my deary, kiss me, and be quiet.
