Strana 232 - He paweth in the valley, and rejoiceth in his strength: he goeth on to meet the armed men. He mocketh at fear, and is not affrighted; neither turneth he back from the sword. The quiver rattleth against him, the glittering spear and the shield. He swalloweth the ground with fierceness and rage : neither believeth he that it is the sound of the trumpet. He saith among the trumpets, Ha, ha ! and he smelleth the battle afar off, the thunder of the captains, and the shouting.
Strana 122 - I said above, that the faculties of our souls are improved and made useful to us, just after the same manner as our bodies are. Would you have a man write or paint, dance or fence well, or perform any other manual operation dexterously and with ease?

Strana 530 - Reason than to disobey her; and who retreated from the heat and tumult of the way, not to the bowers of Intemperance, but to the maze of Indolence.
Strana 541 - Vast happiness enjoy thy gay allies ! A youth of follies, an old age of cares ; Young yet enervate, old yet never wise, Vice wastes their vigour, and their mind impairs, Vain, idle, delicate, in thoughtless ease, Reserving woes for age, their prime they spend.; All wretched, hopeless, in the evil. days, With sorrow to the verge of life they tend. Griev'd with the present, of the past...
Strana 536 - Rough is the road to fame, thro' blood and war ; Smooth is my way, and all my paths are peace. With me retire, from toils and perils free ; Leave honor to the wretch ! Pleasures were made for thee.
Strana 371 - The vast variety and yet beautiful symmetry and proportions of the several parts and organs with which the creature is endued, and their apt cohesion with and dependence on the curious receptacle of their life and nourishment, would forbid his concluding the whole to be the birth of chance, or the bungling effort of an unskilful artist ; at least, would make him demur a while at so harsh a sentence.
