Strana 182 - True happiness is of a retired nature, and an enemy to pomp and noise ; it arises, in the first place, from the enjoyment of one's self ; and, in the next, from the friendship and conversation of a few select companions...
Strana 107 - Father has put into my hand, and I drink it with pleasure It is the cross of my dear Redeemer; I bear it with alacrity, knowing that all that live godly in Christ Jesus must...
Strana 108 - I have no more to say by way of clearing my innocency, knowing that to a true, Christian, unprejudiced mind, I must appear guiltless ; but, however, I am not very solicitous about it. I rejoice, and it is now my comfort, (and that will support me and protect me from the crowd of evil spirits that I must meet with in my flight to the region of bliss assigned me, ) that my conscience speaks peace to me. Indeed, it may be shocking to some serious Christians, that the holy God should suffer...
Strana 270 - By freeing himself from a habit of servile imitation ; by daring to think and feel, and express his feelings ; by dwelling on scenes and events connected with our pride and our affections ; by indulging in those little peculiarities of thought, feeling, and expression which belong to every nation ; by borrowing from nature, and not from those who disfigure or burlesque her — he may and will in time destroy the ascendency of foreign taste and opinions, and elevate his own in the place of them. These...
Strana 264 - I have money, and I have real estate," he says. The girl has read in novels that it is better to be an old man's darling than a young man's slave, and so she may be drawn by the commercial offering.
Strana 107 - I never knew them but at my trial. But for a removal of all scruples that may arise after my death, I shall give my thoughts on some points. First, I firmly believe and attest, that it is not in the power of man to forgive sin; that it is the prerogative only of the great God to dispense pardon for sin; and that those who dare pretend to such a power, do in some degree commit that great and unpardonable sin, the sin against the holy spirit; because they pretend to that power which their own consciences...
Strana 109 - In fine, I depart this waste, this howling wilderness, with a mind serene, free from all malice, with a forgiving spirit, so far as the Gospel of my dear and only Redeemer obliges and enjoins me to, hoping and praying that Jesus, who alone is the giver of repentance, will convince, conquer, and enlighten, my murderers...
Strana 178 - Boston, he could not have been disgracefully driven from it : Had he pursued his Victory at Long Island, he had ended the Rebellion : Had he landed above the lines at New York, not a man could have escaped him : Had he fought the Americans at...
Strana 266 - The best and most perfect works of imagination appear to me to be those which are founded upon a combination of such characters as every generation of men exhibits, and such events as have often taken place in the world, and will again. Such works are only fictions, because the tissue of events which they record never perhaps happened in precisely the same train, and to the same number of persons, as are exhibited and associated in the relation. Real life is fraught with adventures, to which the...
Strana 107 - Hughson, his wife, or the creature that was hanged with them. I never saw them living, dying, or dead ; nor ever had I any knowledge or confederacy with white or black, as to any plot...
