Σελίδα 353 - John. It is the curse of kings, to be attended By slaves, that take their humours for a warrant To break within the bloody house of life ; And, on the winking of authority, To understand a law ; to know the meaning Of dangerous majesty, when, perchance, it frowns More upon humour, than advis'd respect.
Σελίδα 334 - God's approbation, shall the secrets of all hearts be, finally, made known, in that day when ' whosoever is not found written in the book of life, shall be cast into the lake of fire.
Σελίδα 369 - Population invariably increases where the means of subsistence increase, unless prevented by some very powerful and obvious checks. 3. These checks, and the checks which repress the superior power of population, and keep its effects on a level with the means of subsistence, are all resolvable into moral restraint, vice, and misery.
Σελίδα 440 - God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness : because that which may be known of God is manifest in them ; for God hath shewed it unto them.

Σελίδα 268 - Et jusques au bonjour, il dit tout à l'oreille. ACASTE. Et Géralde, Madame ? CÉLIMÈNE. 0 l'ennuyeux conteur! Jamais on ne le voit sortir du grand seigneur; Dans le brillant commerce il se mêle sans cesse, Et ne cite jamais que duc, prince ou princesse : La qualité l'entête...
Σελίδα 300 - And to add to this virtue (so worthy the appellation of benevolence), these actions have been performed •in so free and kind a manner, that if I was dry, I drank the sweetest draught ; and if hungry, I eat the coarsest morsel with a double relish.
Σελίδα 153 - ... but has left behind it traces, which are not to be effaced by Birthday and Thanksgiving odes, or the chaunting of Te Deums in all the churches of Christendom. To those hopes eternal regrets are due ; to those who maliciously and wilfully blasted them in the fear that they might be accomplished, we feel no less what we owe — hatred and scorn as lasting !

Σελίδα 315 - In a subsequent age the zeal of the Nestorians overleaped the limits which had confined the ambition and curiosity both of the Greeks and Persians.
