Strana 37 - We must not make a scare-crow of the law, ' Setting it up to fear the birds of prey, And let it keep one shape, till custom make it Their perch, and not their terror.
Strana 49 - I'll build all inward : not a light shall ope The common out-way; no expense, no art, No ornament, no door, will I use there; But raise all plain and rudely like a...
Strana 8 - Be thou familiar, but by no means vulgar. The friends thou hast, and their adoption tried, Grapple them to thy soul with hooks of steel ; But do not dull thy palm with entertainment Of each new-hatch'd, unfledg'd comrade.
Strana 33 - I ha' no reason ; for they say he 's as like me as ever he can look.' The following description of the dissipation of a fortune in the hands of a spendthrift is ingenious and beautiful. ' Know that which made him gracious in your eyes, And gilded o'er his imperfections, Is wasted and consumed even like ice, Which by the vehemence of heat dissolves, And glides to many rivers : so his wealth, That felt a prodigal hand, hot in expence, Melted within his gripe, and from his coffers Ran like a violent...
Strana 25 - It many times falls out, that we deem ourselves much deceived in others, because we first deceived ourselves.
Strana 44 - There are few who can withstand the influence of local attachments. Our country, our dwelling, and, above all, the place of our birth, are frequently clung to with an ardour, which, though we cannot coolly justify its reasonableness, we find it no less difficult to subdue. We almost act as if we fancied that the inanimate objects from which we part so mournfully, were for a while endued with consciousness, and could participate in our regrets. They recall to our minds past scenes and former friends,...
Strana 53 - ... clever observations respecting the state of society in London, and the absurd prejudices which graduate the respective portions of it in the scale of fashion. " Mr. Bagshawe, since we saw him at Huntley Park, had received a considerable accession of fortune by the death of one of his relations. He had at length resigned the profession of an attorney, which he had been latterly following rather lazily ; and, in obedience to the urgent and oft-repeated representations of his wife and daughters,...
Strana 54 - ... make out a scale of the comparative gentility of the streets and squares. The claims of the latter would be easily settled. St. James's and Grosvenorsquares would look down like rival potentates from a proud height of dignity on their humbler brethren of Berkeley, Hanover, and Portman ; and these, in return, may discharge their contempt on the minor northern fry of Cavendish, Manchester, Bryanstone, and Montague. But these can still treat others as inferiors. Many and nice are the gradations...
Strana 104 - Which is the villain ? Let me see his eyes, That when I note another man like him, I may avoid him.
Strana 44 - ... with an ardour, which, though we cannot coolly justify its reasonableness, we find it no less difficult to subdue. We almost act as if we fancied that the inanimate objects from which we part so mournfully, were for a while endued with consciousness, and could participate in our regrets. They recall to our minds past scenes and former friends, and we view them as relics that are hallowed to our feelings by the associations which they convey.— Many an object, intrinsically trifling, acquires...
