Σελίδα 439 - Hell from beneath is moved for thee to meet thee at thy coming: it stirreth up the dead for thee, even all the chief ones of the earth; it hath raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations. All they shall speak and say unto thee, Art thou also become weak as we? Art thou become like unto us?
Σελίδα 185 - I wish you would moderate that fondness you have for your children. I do not mean you should abate any part of your care, or not do your duty to them in its utmost extent ; but I would have you early prepare yourself for disappointments, which are heavy in proportion to their being surprising.
Σελίδα 417 - Where nought but dreams, no real pleasures, grow ; Like cats in air-pumps, to subsist we strive On joys too thin to keep the soul alive.

Σελίδα 216 - The Discovery of a New World ; or, a Discourse tending to prove that it is probable there may be another habitable World in the Moon ; with a Discourse concerning the possibility of a passage thither.
Σελίδα 183 - It is a real and exact representation of life, as it is now acted in London, as it was in my time, and as it will be I do not doubt) a hundred years hence, with some little variation of dress, and perhaps of government.
Σελίδα 295 - Experiments and Observations to determine whether the quantity of Rain and Dew is equal to the quantity of« Water carried off by the Rivers and raised by Evaporation ; with an Enquiry into the Origin of Springs.
Σελίδα 185 - ... daughters are beauties, they take great pains to persuade them that they are ugly, or at least that they think so, which the young woman never fails to believe springs from envy, and is perhaps not much in the wrong.
