If anything ail a man, so that he does not perform his functions, if he have a pain in his bowels even,- for that is the seat of sympathy,-he forthwith sets about reforming the world.

Nothing so needs reforming as other people's habits.

Every abuse ought to be reformed, unless the reform is more dangerous than the abuse itself.
