Strana 298 - Yes, I am proud ; I must be proud, to see Men not afraid of God, afraid of me : Safe from the bar, the pulpit, and the throne, 210 Yet touch'd and sham'd by ridicule alone. O sacred weapon ! left for truth's defence, Sole dread of folly, vice, and insolence...
Strana 125 - The berries crackle, and the mill turns round; On shining Altars of Japan they raise The silver lamp ; the fiery spirits blaze : From silver spouts the grateful liquors glide, While China's earth receives the smoking tide: no At once they gratify their scent and taste, And frequent cups prolong the rich repast.
Strana 90 - You have the Pyrrhic dance as yet, Where is the Pyrrhic phalanx gone? Of two such lessons, why forget The nobler and the manlier one?
Strana ii - Manners are of more importance than laws. Upon them, in a great measure, the laws depend. The law touches us but here and there, and now and then. Manners are what vex or soothe, corrupt or purify, exalt or debase, barbarize or refine us, by a constant, steady, uniform, insensible operation, like that of the air we breathe in. They give their whole form and color to our lives. According to their quality, they aid morals, they supply them, or they totally destroy them.

Strana 211 - ... undignified and vulgar. You are never to forget yourself; are to keep a constant watch upon yourself and others : to forgive nothing that is faulty in your own conduct, in that of others neither to forgive too little nor too much. Nothing must appear to touch you, nothing to agitate : you must never overhaste yourself, must ever keep yourself composed, retaining still an outward calmness, whatever storms may rage within.
Strana 315 - They bring out their sick to the marketplace, for they have no physicians ; then those who pass by the sick person, confer with him about the disease, to discover whether they have themselves been afflicted with the same disease as the sick person...
Strana 309 - Bell, my wiffe, why dost thou floute! Now is nowe, and then was then: Seeke now all the world throughout, Thou kenst not clownes from gentlemen. They are cladd in blacke, greene, yellowe, or gray...
Strana 23 - Tis bad, and may be better — all men's lot : Most men are slaves, none more so than the great, To their own whims and passions, and what not ; Society itself, which should create Kindness, destroys what little we had got : To feel for none is the true social art Of the world's stoics — men without a heart.
