How much is conveyed in those two short words - 'The Parish!' And with how many tales of distress and misery, of broken fortune and ruined hopes, too often of unrelieved wretchedness and successful knavery, are they associated! A poor man, with small earnings, and a large family, just manages to live on from hand to mouth, and to procure food from day to day; he has barely sufficient to satisfy the present cravings of nature, and can take no heed of the future.
Quotes
From WikiquoteThe dignity of his office is never impaired by the absence of efforts on his part to maintain it.
I used to sit, think, think, thinking, till I felt as lonesome as a kitten in a wash–house copper with the lid on.
The civility which money will purchase, is rarely extended to those who have none.
Grief never mended no broken bones, and as good people’s wery scarce, what I says is, make the most on ’em.
