Philosophers make systems, and we simpletons collections: and we are as wise as they wiser perhaps, for we know that in a few years our rarities will be dispersed at an auction; and they flatter themselves that their reveries will be immortal, which has happened to no system yet. A curiosity may rise in value; a system is exploded.
It was terrible to think of again encountering those bearded, sneering simpletons; yet the ground must be retraced, and the steps sought out. I came at last to an old and worn flight, and, taking it for granted that this must be the one indicated, I descended them. The street into which they led was indeed narrow, but it contained no inn. On I wandered.
Money earned in this establishment from this moment would burn my fingers." "Hoity-toity! Don't get big feelings too suddenly, my pretty dear," he cried, with a load, hilarious laugh. "Lord! what simpletons some girls are! You're standing in your own light, pretty one! Can't you see that?"
If Pantheists of this reverend gentleman's school are neither sophists nor simpletons, Materialism is neither true nor false.
"I don't believe there is anything good in the flunkey line that money won't buy. I have always found I could have anything I wanted, if I saw fit to pay its price. Money, no matter what simpletons preach, money, my dear, is"

Many have to live on much smaller salaries, but they do it "by the skin of their teeth." Having seen much of clergymen, we believe that, whether wise men or simpletons, they are, as a class, honest, sincere self-denying, and God-fearing. There are, however, black sheep amongst them. These are blackest in New York. There are not many of these, however.
"They will be cut down like grass, simpletons that they are," said Stofflet; "besides, the first moment is everything; two hundred should by this time have been within the camp." "Let them alone," said M. d'Elbee, "they are quite right as they are; they will not fight the worse for saying their prayers." As he finished speaking, the men rose again, and rushed against the earth-work.
