How sickness enlarges the dimensions of a man's self to himself

A good metaphor is something even the police should keep an eye on

If I’d listened to my consumers, I’d have given them a faster horse

A village is a hive of glass, where nothing unobserved can pass

The sharp eye notes specific points and differences—it seizes upon the individuality of the thing.

Fast is fine, but accuracy is everything

The price of freedom is eternal vigilance
