It seems to me, all created critters look down on each other. The British and French look down on the Yankees, and colonists look down upon niggers and Indians, while we look down upon them all. It's the way of the world, I do suppose; but the road ain't a pleasant one.

— Thomas Chandler Haliburton

Nicknames stick to people, and the most ridiculous are the most adhesive.

We reckon hours and minutes to be dollars and cents.
