Summary

may see a fly at the same time. - Doug Larson This quote by Doug Larson talks about the differences in focus and multitasking abilities between dogs and cats. Dogs are known to make direct eye contact with their owners and give them their full attention. On the other hand, cats are infamous for their independent and curious nature: they are capable of making eye contact, but might also be easily distracted by other things happening around them, like a fly. The quote implies that while dogs prioritize their interaction with humans, cats are often more easily captivated by various stimuli in their environment.

A full-dressed ecclesiastic is a sort of go-cart of divinity; an ethical automaton. A clerical prig is, in general, a very dangerous as well as contemptible character. The utmost that those who thus habitually confound their opinions and sentiments with the outside coverings of their bodies can aspire to, is a negative and neutral character, like wax-work figures, where the dress is done as much to the life as the man, and where both are respectable pieces of pasteboard, or harmless compositions of fleecy hosiery.

The art of reasoning becomes of first importance. In this line antiquity has left us the finest models for imitation; I should consider the speeches of Livy, Sallust, and Tacitus, as pre-eminent specimens of logic, taste, and that sententious brevity which, using not a word to spare, leaves not a moment for inattention to the hearer. Amplification is the vice of modern oratory.
