Strana 298 - ... of sense laughs at it, at the same time that he knows he must not neglect it: there are a thousand foolish customs of this kind, which not being criminal must be complied with, and even cheerfully, by men of sense. Diogenes the Cynic was a wise man for despising them ; but a fool for showing it. Be wiser than other people, if you can ; but do not tell them so.
Strana 616 - mid fire and smoke, And twice ten hundred voices spoke, "The Playhouse is in flames !" And lo ! where Catherine Street extends, A fiery tail its lustre lends To every...
Strana 751 - John Wesley's conversation is good, but he is never at leisure. He is always obliged to go at a certain hour. This is very disagreeable to a man who loves to fold his legs and have out his talk, as I do.

Strana 751 - So fine an old man I never saw. The happiness of his mind beamed forth in his countenance. Every look showed how fully he enjoyed ' the gay remembrance of a life well spent ;' and wherever he went, he diffused a portion of his own felicity.
Strana 66 - Good sense is, of all things among men, the most equally distributed; for every one thinks himself so abundantly provided with it, that those even who are the most difficult to satisfy in everything else, do not usually desire a larger measure of this quality than they already possess.
Strana 750 - They are already forbid all the pulpits in London, and to preach in that diocese is actual schism. In all likelihood it will come to the same all over England, if the Bishops have courage enough.
