Striving to Better, Oft We Mar What's Well

Walter Scott, Guy Mannering, vol. I, chap. 6:
All this good had its rateable proportion of evil. Even an admitted nuisance, of ancient standing, should not be abated without some caution.
Id.:
We are not made of wood or stone, and the things which connect themselves with our hearts and habits cannot, like bark or lichen, be rent away without our missing them.
