Strana 71 - Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested; that is, some books are to be read only in parts; others to be read, but not curiously; .and some few to be read wholly, and with diligence and attention.
Strana 231 - Mirth is like a flash of lightning, that breaks through a gloom of clouds, and glitters for a moment ; cheerfulness keeps up a kind of daylight in the mind, and fills it with a steady and perpetual serenity.
Strana 119 - The sun had long since, in the lap Of Thetis, taken out his nap, And, like a lobster boil'd, the morn From black to red began to turn...
Strana 295 - The sentiments enforced are so transcendently beautiful, that they never can be out of place or season, wherever they may be found. In his second chapter of Natural Theology, speaking of the Divine attributes, he says: "Revelation gives such a display of the Divine goodness, as must fill us with the most ardent gratitude and adoration. For...
Strana 105 - That which in the smallest compass exhibits the greatest variety of beauty, is a fine human face.

Strana 396 - Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do unto you, do you even so to them.
Strana 295 - Revelation gives such a display of " the divine goodness, as must fill us with the most ardent gra" titude and adoration. For in it we find, that God has put it " in our power, notwithstanding our degeneracy and unworthi" ness, to be happy both in this world and for ever ; a hope " which reason alone could never have permitted us to entertain " on any ground of certainty. And here we may repeat what " was already hinted at, that although the right use of rea...
Strana 352 - To virtue, therefore, which is the right exercise of our moral powers, the character of man's chief good does belong: which will appear still more evident when we consider, that the hope of future felicity is the chief consolation of the present life, and that the virtuous alone can reasonably entertain that hope.
