Side 118 - 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 162 - 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 20 - 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 58 - man's life consists not in the abundance of the things which he possesses," but in what he is in himself.

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 96 - 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...
