It is very rarely that I dare entrust myself to such extempore hospitality miserum est aliena vivere quadra; a friendly dinner, a family meal, are things from which I fly with undisguised aversion.
Again, Poor RICHARD says, 'Tis foolish, to lay out money in a purchase of Repentance: and yet this folly is practised every day at Vendues, for want of minding the Almanac. Wise men, as Poor DICK says, learn by others' harms; Fools, scarcely by their own: but Felix quem faciunt aliena pericula cautum.
