And it is a singular truth that, though a man may shake off national habits, accent, manner of thinking, style of dress,--though he may become perfectly identified with another nation, and speak its language well, perhaps better than his own,--yet never can he succeed in changing his handwriting to a foreign style.

There are few faces that can afford to smile: a smile is sometimes bewitching, in general vapid, often a contortion.

Benjamin Disraeli 809 quotes
