Following are some of the more notable epigrams of the learned and ingenious Dr. Jamrach Holobom:We know better the needs of ourselves than of others. To serve oneself is economy of administration.In each human heart are a tiger, a pig, an ass and a nightingale.

They have less to be ashamed of.While your friend holds you affectionately by both your hands you are safe, for you can watch both his.»
