«The person determined to achieve maximum success learns the principle that progress is made one step at a time. A house is built one brick at a time. Football games are won a play at a time.

«I have spread out my hands all the day unto a rebellious people, which walketh in a way that was not good, after their own thoughts; / A people that provoketh me to anger continually to my face; that sacrificeth in gardens, and burneth incense upon altars of brick; / Which remain among the graves, and lodge in the monuments, which eat swine's flesh, and broth of abominable things is in their vessels; / Which say, Stand by thyself, come not near to me; for I am holier than thou. These are a smoke in my nose, a fire that burneth all the day.»

«RAMSHACKLE, adj. Pertaining to a certain order of architecture, otherwise known as the Normal American. Most of the public buildings of the United States are of the Ramshackle order, though some of our earlier architects preferred the Ironic. Recent additions to the White House in Washington are Theo-Doric, the ecclesiastic order of the Dorians. They are exceedingly fine and cost one hundred dollars a brick.»
