Strana 122 - Happy in this, she is not yet so old But she may learn; happier than this, She is not bred so dull but she can learn; Happiest of all is that her gentle spirit Commits itself to yours to be directed, As from her lord, her governor, her king.
Strana 246 - All kinds of sores and shames on my bare head, Steep'd me in poverty to the very lips, Given to captivity me and my utmost hopes, I should have found in some place of my soul A drop of patience...
Strana 58 - The motives of the best actions will not bear too strict an inquiry. It is allowed, that the cause of most actions, good or bad, may be resolved into the love of ourselves ; but the self-love of some men, inclines them to please others ; and the self-love of others is wholly employed in pleasing themselves. This makes the great distinction between virtue and vice. Religion is the best motive of all actions, yet religion is allowed to be the highest instance of self-love.
Strana 37 - It is a secret known but to few, yet of no small use in the conduct of life, that when you fall into a man's conversation, the first thing you should consider is, whether he has a greater inclination to hear you, or that you should hear him.

Strana 161 - I lose Riches ; and a wise man poor Is like a sacred book that's never read ; To himself he lives and to all else seems dead. This age thinks better of a gilded fool, Than of a threadbare saint in Wisdom's school I...
Strana 282 - Tis not the stoick's lessons got by rote, The pomp of words, and pedant dissertations, That can sustain thee in that hour of terror ; Books have taught cowards to talk nobly of it, But when the trial comes, they stand aghast ; Hast thou consider'd what may happen after it ? How thy account may stand, and what to answer f Cal.
Strana 171 - I must tell you, sir, Virtue, if not in action, is a vice, And, when we move not forward, we go backward : Nor is this peace, the nurse of drones and cowards, Our health, but a disease.
Strana 138 - FilPd with false rumours and seditious trouble, Bred in assemblies of the vulgar sort, That still are led with every light report. And as her ears, so eke her feet were odd, And much unlike; th...
