A man can scarce allege his own merits with modesty, much less extol them; a man cannot sometimes brook to supplicate or beg; and a number of the like.

He asks me about my book and I ask him about his magazine and I mention, modestly, that I'm a writer and he mentions, modestly, that he's a musician, and even though we're really a bookkeeper and a systems analyst, we understand that we're not defined by our paying jobs.

In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a bygone vexation stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance, a vendetta held as a votive not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose. So let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V.

He bid me observe it, and I should always find , that the calamities of life were shared among the upper and lower part of mankind; but that the middle station had the fewest disasters, and was not exposed, to so many vicissitudes as the higher or lower part of mankind; nay, they were not subjected to so many distempers and uneasiness either of body or mind, as those were who, by vicious living, luxury and extravagancies on one hand, or hard labour, want of necessaries, and mean or insufficient diet on the other hand, bring distempers upon themselves by the natural consequences of their way of living; that the middle station of life was calculated for all kind of virtues and all kinds of a middle fortune; that temperance, moderation, quietness, health, society, all agreeable diversions, and all desirable pleasures, were the blessing attending the middle station of life; that this way men went silently and smoothly through the world, and comfortably out of it, not embarrassed with the labour of the hands or of the head, not sold to the life of slavery for daily bread, or harassed with perplexed circumstances, which rob the soul of peace, and the body of rest; not enraged with the passion of envy, or secret burning lust of ambition for great things; but in easy circumstances sliding gently through the world, and sensibly tasting the sweets of living, without the bitter, feeling that they are happy, and learning by every day's experience to know it more sensibly.

他嘱咐我，只要用心观察，到处都可发现：生活的灾难是由上层和下层两类人分担，而中间阶层灾难最少，不会像那两类人那样，要经历那么多的荣辱变迁，商海浮沉。中间阶层也绝不会像阔佬那样，因骄奢淫逸、挥霍无度而狂躁不安、身心俱损；也不会像穷人那样，因劳累辛苦、缺吃少穿，以及这种穷苦生活自然而然带来的种种后果而焦急不安、忧心忡忡。他说，中等生活最能保持各种美德和一切正常而适中的享受，中等人的生活经常是安定富足的。他说，和睦和富裕是中产阶层的随身伴侣。他说，和善、谦虚、宁静、健康、社交、各种正当的娱乐、各种有益的消遣，都是降临到中等人头上的福份。他们就这样默默地、但又是顺利地、当然也是舒服地走过人生的旅途，不受劳力和劳心之苦，也不必为每天的面包而卖身为奴，或被困境搞得身心疲惫；也不会因心怀嫉妒和好大喜功而野心勃勃、贪婪无度，而是在轻松的环境下平静地度过一生，有意识地品尝着生活的甜美，没有痛苦，只感到幸福，并且通过日益增多的经验，越来越有意识地去学会品尝和感受幸福。

Often –– and this is what riles me –– it is not given as an opinion that accepts some humility, as in "I think it might be better..."
