-- He got a good estate by merchandise, and leaving off his trade, lived af-terwards at York, from whence he had married my mother, whose relations were named Robinson, a very good fam-ily in that country, and from whom I was called Robinson Kreutznaer; but, by the usual corruption of words in Eng-land, we are now called - nay we call ourselves and write our name - Crusoe; and so my companions always called me.

-- He told me it was men of desperate fortunes on one hand, or of aspir-ing, superior fortunes on the other, who went abroad upon adventures, to rise by enterprise, and make themselves fa-mous in undertakings of a nature out of the common road; that these things were all either too far above me or too far below me; that mine was the middle state, or what might be called the upper station of low life, which he had found, by long experience, was the best state in the world, the most suited to human happiness, not exposed to the miseries and hardships, the labour and sufferings of the mechanic part of mankind, and not embarrassed with the pride, luxury, am-bition, and envy of the upper part of mankind.
-- that this was the state of life which all other people envied; that kings have frequently lamented the miserable consequence of being born to great things, and wished they had been placed in the middle of the two extremes, between the mean and the great; that the wise man gave his testimo-ny to this, as the standard of felicity, when he prayed to have neither poverty nor riches.
