Excerpt from Done Every Day: Straightforward Talks on Some Commonplaces of Life
Why, I know men upon whose lips no words are so ready as avowals of human brotherhood and argu ments for social democracy, yet they will stand in converse upon these very topics and permit scores of those same well-known brothers to pass by, deigning no smile or cheery token, only at best a frigid nod. Less bow-wow, brother, I feel like saying then, less bow-wow and more bow!

Excerpt from Done Every Day: Straightforward Talks on Some Commonplaces of Life
So delicate is this art that I can imagine no nicer test of the quality of a man than a walk down street with him in a town where he has many acquaintances. How the great-hearted minister, or the wise and jolly village doctor, or the kindly old maid, everybody's friend, make royal progresses wherever they go! If every bow were a bank-note and every smile a gem, they would be Vanderbilts long before their return. On the contrary, should the Gradgrinds fare abroad under such a dispensation, their surly necks would brmg them hopelessly into debt!
