Abuse
One may be continually abusive
without saying any thing just;
but one cannot be always laughing
at a man without now and then
stumbling on something witty.
?Jane Austen

laudanum; you have to double the
dose as the sensibilities decline.
?Harriet Beecher Stowe

in order to preserve higher values.
?Warren E. Burger
An injury is much sooner
forgotten than an insult.
?Lord Chesterfield
I do not waste my time in
answering abuse; I thrive
under it like a field that
benefits from manure.
?Henry Labouchere
It is often better not to see
an insult than to avenge it.
?Seneca
We like so much to hear people talk
of us and of our motives, that we are
charmed even when they abuse us.
?Marie de Sevigne
If a man's character is to be
abused, say what you will, there's
nobody like a relation
to do the business.
?William Makepeace Thackery
