Strana 106 - On the other side, if the mind be curbed, and humbled too much in children ; if their spirits be abased and broken much, by too strict a hand over them, they lose all their vigour and industry, and are in a worse state than the former.
Strana 67 - A brute arrives at a point of perfection that he can never pass : in a few years he has all the endowments he is capable of; and were he to live ten thousand more, would be the same thing he is at present.
Strana 347 - What is a man, If his chief good and market of his time Be but to sleep and feed? a beast, no more. Sure he that made us with such large discourse, Looking before and after, gave us not That capability and god-like reason To fust in us unus'd.
Strana 343 - Of these, and all the thousand nameless ills, That one incessant struggle render life, One scene of toil, of suffering, and of fate, Vice in his high career would stand appall'd, And heedless rambling Impulse learn to think; The conscious heart of Charity would warm, And her wide wish Benevolence dilate; The social tear would rise, the social sigh; And into clear perfection, gradual bliss, Refining still, the social passions work.
Strana 232 - He has often told me, that at his coming to his estate he found his parishioners very irregular : and that in order to make them kneel, and join in the responses, he gave every one of them...
Strana 291 - I could get of this matter, I am apt to think that this prodigious pile was fashioned into the shape it now bears by several tools and instruments of which they have a wonderful variety in this country.
Strana 329 - But useless lances into scythes shall bend, And the broad falchion in a ploughshare end.
Strana 155 - If we consider the world in its subserviency to man, one would think it was made for our use : but if we consider it in its natural beauty and harmony, one would be apt to conclude it was made for our pleasure.
Strana 91 - Tis phrase absurd to call a villain great : Who wickedly is wise, or madly brave, Is but the more a fool, the more a knave. Who noble ends by noble means obtains, Or failing, smiles in exile or in chains, Like good Aurelius let him reign, or bleed Like Socrates, that man is great indeed. What's fame ? a fancied life in others' breath, A thing beyond us, e'en before our death.
Strana 115 - Whereto with speedy words the Arch-Fiend replied. Fallen Cherub ! to be weak is miserable, Doing or suffering: but of this be sure, To do aught good never will be our task, But ever to do ill our sole delight, As being the contrary to his high will Whom we resist.
