Since it is seldom clear whether intellectual activity denotes a superior mode of being or a vital deficiency, opinion swings between considering intellect a privilege and seeing it as a handicap.
Jacques Barzun
Strange things have happened, but seldom does it happen.
Henry Bliss

Jack Buck

Anton Seidl
The dog has seldom been successful in pulling man up to its level of sagacity, but man has frequently dragged the dog down to his.

William Cowper
The laughter of the aphorism is sometimes triumphant, but seldom carefree.
Mason Cooley
The lion is, however, rarely heard - much more seldom seen.
John H. Speke
The man who has sufficient power over himself to wait until his nature has recovered its even balance is the truly wise man, but such beings are seldom met with.
Giacomo Casanova
The man who occupies the first place seldom plays the principal part.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The man who rows the boat seldom has time to rock it.
Bill Copeland
The master class seldom lose a chance to insult a woman who has the ability for something besides service to his lordship.
Caroline Nichols Churchill
The most successful war seldom pays for its losses.
Thomas Jefferson
