Manners have been somewhat cynically defined to be a contrivance of wise men to keep fools at a distance.

Nature is often hidden, sometimes overcome, seldom extinguished.
Kindness is not without its rocks ahead. People are apt to put it down to an easy temper and seldom recognize it as the secret striving of a generous nature; whilst, on the other hand, the ill-natured get credit for all the evil they refrain from.

Happy persons seldom think of happiness. They are too busy losing their lives in the meaningful sacrifices of service.
A person well satisfied with themselves is seldom satisfied with others, and others, rarely are with them.
Wisdom is seldom gained without suffering.
I seldom took a drink on the set before 9 a. m.
Politicians, like bombers, seldom see their victims.
True stories seldom have endings. I don't want a happy ending, I want more story.
Negative books can be bestsellers, but seldom classics.
