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.

We were not ready to play. The matches we won, everybody contributed and the most we lost everybody contributed. I believe by the end of the season we'll be a pretty good team. To finish in the top half at this tournament is a good sign.
