Strana 138 - And let my liver rather heat with wine Than my heart cool with mortifying groans. Why should a man, whose blood is warm within, Sit like his grandsire cut in alabaster?
Strana 155 - A wise man's heart is at his right hand ; but a fool's heart at His left.
Strana 160 - Pour moi, menacé du naufrage, Je dois, en affrontant l'orage, Penser, vivre, et mourir en roi.
Strana 168 - When we mean to build, We first survey the plot, then draw the model ; And when we see the figure of the house, Then must we rate the cost of the erection ; Which if we find outweighs ability, What do we then but draw anew the model In fewer offices, or at least desist To build at all...
Strana 124 - Horace has expressed in those two famous lines : ' -Si quid novisti rectius istis, Candidas imperti ; si non, his utere mecum.
Strana 99 - For let me but examine well the cause: What was the meanness of her match to me ? Only I must confess I had a hope, Had she continu'd widow, to have gain'd An infinite mass of treasure by her death: And that was the main cause, — her marriage, That drew a stream of gall quite through my heart.
Strana 179 - I am an Englishman, and naked I stand here, Musing in my mind what raiment I shall wear For now I will wear this, and now I will wear that. And now I will wear I cannot tell what.
Strana 181 - London, that no marginal notes should be added, having found in them which are annexed to the Geneva translation, which he saw in a Bible given him by an English lady, some notes very partial, untrue, seditious, and savouring too much of dangerous and traitorous conceits, supporting his opinion by Exod.
Strana 71 - O most imperfect light of human reason, That mak'st [us] so unhappy to foresee What we can least prevent! Pursue thy wishes, And glory in them: there's in shame no comfort But to be past all bounds and sense of shame.
Strana 122 - em, than should one Fall in a frost, and leave his print in snow; As soon as the sun shines, it ever melts, Both form and matter. I have ever thought Nature doth nothing so great for great men As when she's pleas'd to make them lords of truth : Integrity of life is fame's best friend, Which nobly, beyond death, shall crown the end.
