- 1. "Comes Home To Men's Business And Bosoms." - Paterfamilias, Times.

2. "A long pull, a strong pull, and a pull all together." - Nelson at the Nile.

3. "One touch of nature makes the whole world kin." - Jeremy Bentham.

4. Apothegm by the late Lord Mountcoffeehouse.

5. "Love rules the court, the camp, the grove." - Venerable Bede.]

(1) requirit 'haustum longum, haustum fortem, et haustum omnes simul:' (2) ut canit Poeta, 'unum tactum Naturae totum orben facit consanguineum,' (3) et hominis Natura est - bibere (4).
