    Whoever is admitted or sought for, in company, upon any other account than that of his merit and manners, is never respected there, but only made use of. We will have such-a-one, for he sings prettily; we will invite such-a-one to a ball, for he dances well; we will have such-a-one at supper, for he is always joking and laughing; we will ask another because he plays deep at all games, or because he can drink a great deal. These are all vilifying distinctions, mortifying preferences, and exclude all ideas of esteem and regard. Whoever is had (as it is called) in company for the sake of any one thing singly, is singly that thing, and will never be considered in any other light; consequently never respected, let his merits be what they will.

A 'C' effort at best. We didn't play well at all. We had some good stats and Justin ran the ball amazingly, but we're a lot better than we showed.

Animals that go into (shelters) everywhere, if they have anything wrong with them, if they're not social, they're immediately put down. Very few of them are kept, and the ones that are kept are the ones they think would be adoptable.
