"We cater to the weaknesses and foibles of the public, and there's nothing that appeals to them like a report of generosity. Of course, they never stop to think that the poor creatures are much better off dead than alive, and that they really have no hold on the sympathies of others. It's a fad among rich people to weep over the poor!
The others cater for its body, we for its mind. But their work is more showy than ours and attracts more attention; and to attract attention is the aim and object of most of us. But for Bohemians to worry among themselves which is the greatest, is utterly without reason.

Nobody but the clerk ever thought of touching the church, where there were holes in all the pews to receive the holly boughs.

That I'll have to cater to the personality of the person I'm selling to? Why it's it's "
