עמוד 195 - There are many more shining qualities in the mind of man, but there is none so useful as discretion ; it is this indeed which gives a value to all the rest, which sets them at work in their proper times and places, and turns them to the advantage of the person who is possessed of them.
עמוד 185 - ... them. As Greece and Rome are the fountains from whence have flowed all kinds of excellence, to that veneration which they have a right to claim for the...
עמוד 101 - Is it for thee the lark ascends and sings? Joy tunes his voice, joy elevates his wings. Is it for thee the linnet pours his throat? Loves of his own and raptures swell the note.

עמוד 91 - Gentleness is, in truth, the great avenue to mutual enjoyment. Amidst the strife of interfering interests, it tempers the violence of contention, and keeps alive the seeds of harmony. It softens animosities; renews endearments ; and renders the countenance of man a refreshment to man. Banish gentleness from the earth ; suppose the world to be filled with none but harsh and contentious spirits ; and what sort of society would remain ? the solitude of the desert were preferable to it. The conflict...
עמוד 117 - ... time. If you have resolution enough to do this, you cannot but love learning ; for the mind always loves that to which it has been long, steadily and voluntarily attached.
עמוד 34 - Were they to give us in their catalogue of such worthies as are now living, how different would it be from that which any of our own species would draw up! We are dazzled with the splendour of titles, the ostentation of learning, the noise of victories...
