Strana 255 - We have erred, and strayed from thy ways like lost sheep. We have followed too much the devices and desires of our own hearts. We have offended against thy holy laws. We have left undone those things which we ought to have done; And we have done those things which we ought not to have done; And there is no health in us.
Strana 245 - I ne'er could any lustre see In eyes that would not look on me ; I ne'er saw nectar on a lip, But where my own did hope to sip.
Strana 231 - God, and thy righteousness unto the king's son. 2 Then shall he judge thy people according unto right, and defend the poor. 3 The mountains also shall bring peace, and the little hills righteousness unto the people. 4 He shall keep the simple folk by their right, defend the children of the poor, and punish the wrong doer.
Strana 119 - He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and whoso breaketh an hedge, a serpent shall bite him.
Strana 185 - QUID took a considerable sum of ready money with him, when he made his call upon Mr. Blimmer. Irish Jerry, still in the Blimmersville employ, had an indistinct recollection of the gentleman. By dint of a nervous scratch over his left ear, the lad called up quite a train of associations in connection...
Strana 133 - ... make himself sure, he made some investigations respecting the hand-writing of the late Mr. Bodgers ; he even, in virtue of possessing himself of some letters of the deceased gentleman, made the comparison ; it was not favorable ; there certainly seemed to be a difference : the assertion of Mr. Blimmer appeared plausible : there was too much reason to believe that the instrument he held in his keeping was indeed a copy, and a copy only, of the real Bodgers will. In view of the disparity of the...
Strana 241 - I need no wealth, but sufficiency ; and be sure their love be dear, fervent, and mutual, that it may be happy for them. I choose not they should be married to earthly covetous kindred ; and of cities and towns of concourse beware : the world is apt to stick close to those who have lived and got wealth there ; a country life and estate I like best for my children. I prefer a decent mansion of an hundred pounds per annum, before ten thousand pounds in London, or such like place, in a way of trade.
Strana 200 - The state of man is not unlike that of a fish hooked by an angler. Death allows us a little line. We flounce, and sport, and vary our situation : but when we would extend our schemes, we discover our confinement, checked and limited by a superior hand, who drags us from our element whensoever he pleases.
Strana 94 - ... torment which the imaginary felicity cannot pay for. " Cui cum paupertate bene convenit, dives est : non qui parum habet, sed qui plus cupit, pauper est." All our trouble is from within us ; and if a dish of lettuce and a clear fountain can cool all my heats, so that I shall have neither thirst nor pride, lust nor revenge, envy nor ambition, I am lodged in the bosom of felicity ; and, indeed, no men sleep so soundly, as they that lay their head upon...
Strana 30 - I beseech you; — but the idea came across me, and I could not resist the vanity of offering it to you. After all, except in some few instances, I am not very partial to literary ladies: they are, generally, of an impertinent, encroaching disposition ; and almost always bring to my mind the female astronomer, who, after applying her nocturnal telescope for a long series of months, and had raised the jealousy, as well as the expectations, of the male star-gazers, declared her only object was to discover...
