Side 120 - Voltaire, Which retained all the wit that had ever been there. As a weight, he threw in a torn scrap of a leaf, Containing the prayer of the penitent thief...
Side 164 - Thus, in looking forward to future life, let us recollect that we have not to sustain all its toil, to endure all its sufferings, or encounter all its crosses at once. One moment comes laden with its own little...
Side 22 - Let us therefore fear, lest a promise being given us of entering into His rest, any of us should seem to come short of it.
Side 60 - man's life consists not in the abundance of the things which he possesses," but in what he is in himself.
Side 165 - It seems easier to do right to-morrow than to-day, merely because we forget that when to-morrow comes, then will be now. Thus life passes with many, in resolutions for the future which the present never fulfils. It is not thus with those, who " by patient continuance in well-doing, seek for glory, honour, and immortality...

Music I have learned till I am perfectly sick of it. But, now that we have a grand piano, it will be delightful to play when we have company. I must still continue to practise a little ; — the only thing, I think, that I need now to improve myself in. And then there are my Italian songs...
Side 164 - This is an admirable remark, and might be very seasonably recollected when we begin to be " weary in well-doing," from the thought of having much to do. The present moment is all we have to do with in any sense ; the past is irrecoverable ; the future is uncertain ; nor is it fair to burden one moment with the weight of the next. Sufficient unto the moment is the trouble thereof. If we had to walk a hundred miles, we...
Side 98 - Again, how many years of my life were devoted to the acquisition of those languages by the means of which I might explore the records of remote ages, and become familiar with the learning and literature of other times...
