Strana 156 - Adam the goodliest man of men since born His sons, the fairest of her daughters Eve.
Strana 159 - Though equal to all things, for all things unfit; Too nice for a statesman, too proud for a wit; For a patriot, too cool; for a drudge, disobedient; And too fond of the right to pursue the expedient. In short, 'twas his fate, unemploy'd or in place, sir, To eat mutton cold, and cut blocks with a razor.
Strana 2 - ... in waste places far from danger of law, maketh his mantle his house, and under it covereth himself from the wrath of heaven, from the offence of the earth, and from the sight of men. When it raineth, it is his penthouse ; when it bloweth, it is his tent ; when it freezeth, it is his tabernacle.
Strana 132 - ... matter concerning the stopping of Sandwich haven. Among others came in before him an old man with a white head, and one that was thought to be little less than a hundred years old.
Strana 91 - ... consists ; not in the identity of substance, but, as I have said, in the identity of consciousness ; wherein, if Socrates and the present mayor of Queenborough agree, they are the same person : if the same Socrates waking and sleeping do not partake of the same consciousness, Socrates waking and sleeping is not the same person. And to punish Socrates waking for what sleeping Socrates thought, and waking Socrates was never conscious of, would be no more of right, than to punish one twin for what...
Strana 3 - On coming into the estate he gave the finest entertainment ever was heard of in the country: not a man could stand after supper but Sir Patrick himself, who could sit out the best man in Ireland, let alone the three kingdoms itself. He had his house, from one year's end to another, as full of company as ever it could hold, and fuller...
Strana 7 - ... of man and horse, from every tenant, he was to have, and had, every year; and when a man vexed him, why the finest day he could pitch on, when the cratur was getting in his own harvest, or thatching his cabin, Sir Murtagh made it a principle to call upon him and his horse: so he taught 'em all, as he said, to know the law of landlord and tenant. As for law, I believe no man, dead or alive, ever loved it so well as Sir Murtagh. He had once sixteen suits pending at a time, and I never saw him so...
Strana 7 - ... the face of the earth furnished him good matter for a suit. He used to boast that he had a lawsuit for every letter in the alphabet. How I used to •wonder to see Sir Murtagh in the midst of the papers in his office ! Why, he could hardly turn about for them. I made bold to shrug my shoulders once in his presence, and thanked my stars I was not born a gentleman to so much toil and trouble ; but Sir Murtagh took me up short with his old proverb, " Learning is better than house or land.
Strana 269 - M'Leod was perfectly silent. The company broke up ; and, as we were going out of the room, I maliciously asked M'Leod, wh he, who could say so much in his own defence, had suffered himself to be so completely silenced ? He answered me, in his low, deliberate voice, in the words of Moliere — " ' Qu'est-ce que la raison avec un filet de voix contre une gueule comme cellela?' At some other time," added Mr. M'Leod, "my sentiments shall be at your lordship's disposal.
Strana 127 - Demosthenes ascribes to action, he, in a language not purely attic, gave the following account of the affair to his judge. " Why, my lard, as I was going past the Royal Exchange I meets Billy, ' Billy,' says I, ' will you sky a copper ? '
