In America there are two classes of travel--first class, and with children. Travelling with children corresponds roughly to travel...ling third-class in Bulgaria. They tell me there is nothing lower in the world than third-class Bulgarian travel.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
The great secret, Eliza, is not having bad manners or good manners or any other particular sort of manners, but having the same ma...nner for all human souls: in short, behaving as if you were in Heaven, where there are no third-class carriages, and one soul is as good as another.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
There are four classes of idols which beset men's minds. To these for distinction's sake I have assigned names--calling the first ...class Idols of the Tribe; the second, Idols of the Cave; the third, Idols of the Market-Place; the fourth, Idols of the Theatre.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
