Strana 67 - I knew a very wise man so much of Sir Chr — 's sentiment, that he believed if a man were permitted to make all the ballads, he need not care who should make the laws of a nation.
Strana 240 - Thus may we gather honey from the weed, And make a moral of the devil himself.
Strana 224 - If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink: for thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the Lord shall reward thee.
Strana 70 - Why no, Sir.

He that understands not thus much hath not his introduction or first lesson, and is yet to begin the alphabet of man.
Strana 240 - The web of our life is of a mingled yarn, good and ill together : our virtues would be proud if our faults whipped them not; and our crimes would despair if they were not cherished by our virtues.
