It is good in discourse, and speech of conversation, 

 to vary and intermingle speech of the present occasion 

 with arguments, tales with reasons, asking of questions 

 with telling of opinions, and jest with earnest : for it is 

 a dull thing to tire, and as we say now, to jade a thing 

 too far. BACON, Of Discourse. 



L'accent du pays ou Ton est ne, demeure dans 

 1'esprit et dans le cceur comme dans le langage. 



ROCHEFOUCAULT. 



Vita rustica sine duhitatione, proxima et quasi con- 

 sanguinea sapientise. 



COLUMELLA.
