Strana 41 - But what would be the security of the good if the bad could at pleasure invade them from the sky? Against an army sailing through the clouds, neither walls nor mountains nor seas could afford any security. A flight of northern savages might hover in the wind and light at once with irresistible violence upon the capital of a fruitful region that was rolling under them.

Strana 67 - I saw every thing with a new purpose; my sphere of attention was suddenly magnified: no kind of knowledge was to be overlooked.

Strana 14 - Man surely has some latent sense for which this place affords no gratification, or he has some desires distinct from sense which must be satisfied before he can be happy.
Strana 4 - The sides of the mountains were covered with trees; the banks of the brooks were diversified with flowers; every blast shook spices from the rocks and every month dropped fruits upon the ground.

We have heard at Cairo of your wisdom, and came hither to implore your direction for this young man and maiden in the choice of life."
