Once the season starts for me, there isn't a change in my focus, just a change in my tactics and strategies.
Family traits, like murder, will out. Nature has but so many molds.
A guest should be permitted to graze, as it were, in the pastures of his host's kindness, left even to his own devices, like a rational being, and handsomely neglected.

The unthankful heart, like my finger in the sand, discovers no mercies; but let the thankful heart sweep through the day, and as the magnet finds the iron, so it will find, in every hour, some Heavenly blessings.
