“In the intercourse of social life, it is by little acts of watchful kindness recurring daily and hourly,--and opportunities of doing kindnesses if sought for are forever starting up,--it is by words, by tones, by gestures, by looks, that affection is won and preserved.

The likelihood is, he will not make it; and if he does, it will be much rather for his own sake than for his neighbor's.” IfsLooksLittlesDoeOpportunitySocialKindnessForeverSacrificeReadyStartingSakeAffectionNeighborToneNeglectGesturesBoastIntercourseTriflesSocial LifeLikelihoodRecurringGreat SacrificeStarting Up Author:George Augustus Henry Sala
