Σελίδα 52 - Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.
Σελίδα 107 - ... a couch whereupon to rest a searching and restless spirit; or a terrace for a wandering and variable mind to walk up and down with a fair prospect; or a tower of state for a proud mind to raise itself upon; or a fort or commanding ground for strife and contention; or a shop for profit or sale; and not a rich storehouse for the glory of the Creator and the relief of man's estate.
Σελίδα 92 - ... of your life ; it is the struggle between the new desires knowledge excites, and that sense of poverty, which those desires convert either into hope and emulation, or into envy and despair. I grant that it is an up-hill work that lies before you ; but don't you think it is always easier to climb a mountain than it is /to level it ? These books...
Σελίδα 91 - Eclogues as a faithful picture of the ordinary pains and pleasures of the peasants who tend our sheep. Read them as you would read poets, and they are delightful. But attempt to shape the world according to the poetry, and fit yourself for a madhouse. The farther off the age is from the, realization of such projects, the more these poor philosophers have indulged them.

Σελίδα 53 - He replied also to them who asked, 'Who then can be saved?' 'The things which are impossible with men are possible with God,' that is, man left to his own temptations would fail; but, strengthened by God, he shall be saved.
Σελίδα 309 - Audley's was a strong nature ; but, alas ! in strong natures, if resistance to temptation is of granite, so the passions that they admit are of fire. Trite is the remark, that the destinies of our lives often date from the impulses of unguarded moments. It was so with this man, to an ordinary eye so cautious and so deliberate. Harley one day came to him in great grief ; he had heard that Nora was ill : he implored Audley to go once more and ascertain.
Σελίδα 145 - ... in my face. Well, sir, I had heard that there is no better bait for a perch than a perch's eye. I adjusted that eye on the hook, and dropped in the line gently. The water was unusually clear ; in two minutes, I saw that perch return. He approached the hook; he...
Σελίδα 146 - Such is Life!" recommenced the angler, in a moralizing tone, as he slid his rod into its canvas case. "If a man knew what it was to fish all one's life in a stream that has only one perch, to catch that one perch nine times in all, and nine times to see it fall back into the water, plump, — if a man knew what it was, why, then...
Σελίδα 92 - ... and thence affects prejudicially every department of intelligence. In such times the arts are arrested; literature is neglected; people are too busy to read anything save appeals to their passions. And capital, shaken in its sense of security, no longer ventures boldly through the land, calling forth all the energies of toil and enterprise, and extending to every workman his reward. Now, Lenny, take this piece of advice.
