Strana 203 - The wide, the unbounded prospect lies before me : But shadows, clouds, and darkness, rest upon it. Here will I hold. If there's a power above us (And that there is, all Nature cries aloud Through all her works), he must delight in virtue ; And that which he delights in must be happy.
Strana 54 - ... tis nobler in the mind, to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune ; Or to take arms against a sea of troubles, And, by opposing, end them ? To die — to sleep...
Strana 11 - Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield; but I come to thee in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied.
Strana 52 - Farewell ! a long farewell, to all my greatness !

Strana 46 - Nothing is there to come, and nothing past, But an eternal NOW does always last.
Strana 247 - I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago (whether in the body I cannot tell; or whether out of the body I cannot tell: God knoweth); such an one caught up to the third heaven. And I knew such a man (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth); How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.
Strana 172 - In proportion as they faded away and went out, several stars and planets appeared one after another, until the whole firmament was in a glow.

The galaxy appeared in its most beautiful white. To complete the scene, the full moon rose at length in that clouded majesty...
Strana 142 - What shall I do to be for ever known, And make the age to come my own ?" was the result of a laudable ambition.
