«The body pays for a slip of the foot, and gold pays for a slip of the tongue»

«One has to secrete a jelly in which to slip quotations down people's throats --and one always secretes too much jelly.»
«Never suffer an exception to occur till the new habit is securely rooted in your life. Each lapse is like the letting fall of a ball of string which one is carefully winding up; a single slip undoes more than a great many turns will wind again.»
