Well, then, there are Bolingbroke and Pitt, YOUTH-Season of. Happy season of virtuous youth, when shame is still an impassable barrier, and the sacred air-cities of hope have not shrunk into the mean clay hamlets of reality; and man, by his nature, is yet infinite and free. Carlyle. YOUTH-Thoughtfulness of. YOUTH-Intemperance of. D'Israeli. Fielding. Intemperate youth, by sad experience found, Ends in an age imperfect and unsound. YOUTH-Joyfulness of. Oh! the joy Denham. Of young ideas painted on the mind, The moments when we gather from a glance Youth will never live to age, without they keep themselves in breath with exercise, and in heart with joyfulness. Too much thinking doth consume the spirits; and oft it falls out, that while one thinks too much of doing, he leaves to do the effect of his thinking. Sir Philip Sidney. YOUTH-Truthfulness of. Zeal for the public good is the characteristic of a man of honour and a gentleman, and must take place of pleasures, profits, and all other private gratifications. Whoever wants Of which another's bosom is the zone. Byron. this motive, is an open enemy, or an inglorious neuter to mankind, in proportion to the misapplied advantages with which nature and fortune have blessed hira. ZEAL-without Knowledge. Steele. Zeal without knowledge is like expedition to a man in the dark. John Newton. There is no quality of the mind, by which men, even good men, are more apt to be misled than zeal; particularly zeal in religion, "zeal of God," as St. Paul terms it. Where the object is good, the quality is of high value; "it is good to be zealously affected always in a good thing;" and beyond controversy, no object can be better than the promotion of God's glory, and the furtherance of His religion. But it ought not to carry us beyond the bounds of moderation. It ought to be regulated by a correct knowledge of the nature and character of the religion which we profess, and which we are desirous of furthering; and it ought to be brought into subjection to the dictates of that religion: a religion, not furious, fiery, implacable, cruel; but "peaceable, gentle, easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy." They who act for the furtherance of that religion, in a manner inconsistent with its dictates, show that however sincere be their "zeal of God," it is "not according to knowledge;" or, "that they know not what manner of spirit they are of." Every deviation from the rules of charity and brotherly love, of gentleness and for That blasts the shrines of the false god, but Sydney Dobell. builds For modes of faith let graceless zealots fight; Zephyr! stay thy vagrant flight, To the vine-cover'd cottage delighted I fly, ZOOLOGY-Pursuits of. Natural history is no work for one that loves his chair or his bed. Speculation may be pursued on a soft couch, but Nature must be observed in the open air. I have collected materials with indefatigable pertinacy. I have gathered glow-worms in the evening and snails in the morning; I have seen the daisy close and open; I have heard the owl shriek at midnight, and hunted insects in the heat of noon. Johnson.
