Side 91 - Love suffereth long, and is kind; love envieth not; love vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not its own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
Side 85 - What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise : for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin; as it is written, " There is none righteous, no, not one: there is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
Side 174 - Christ) and its righteousness, and all other things shall be added unto you," was his rule of life ; and in his teaching and his example, afforded him constant assistance in answering such questions as arose during his labors for moral improvement. As soon as he could write, he commenced the practice of taking down sermons and catechizings; and thus acquired great facility in his German style, and a mastery of analytic methods...
Side 121 - ... who hold up their heads among the other children, like the wooden king in the ninepins among his eight fellows. But, if there is a boy who has too much good sense to keep his eyes, for hours together, fixed upon a dozen letters which he hates ; or a merry girl, who, while the schoolmaster discourses of spiritual life, plays with her little hands all manner of temporal fun, under the desk ; the schoolmaster, in his wisdom, settles that these are the goats who care not for their everlasting salvation....
Side 35 - I have received your new book against the human race, and thank you for it. Never was such cleverness used in the design of making us all stupid. One longs in reading your book to walk on all fours. But as I have lost that habit for more than sixty years, I feel unhappily the impossibility of resuming it.
Side 200 - I promised God that I would look upon every Prussian peasant child as a being who could complain of me before God if I did not provide for him the best education as a man and a Christian which it was possible for me to provide.
Side 197 - Thinking leads men to knowledge. He may see and hear, and read and learn whatever he please, and as much as he please ; he will never know any of it, except that which he has thought over, that which, by thinking, he has made the property of his mind. Is it then saying too much, if I sny that man, by thinking only, becomes truly man. Take away thought from man's life, and what remains?" Threatening. " It is a misfortune if one man threaten another. Either he \i corrupt who does it, or he who requires...
Side 105 - Fx' is always used in English as a description rather than a name. I guess everyone has heard about the Holy Roman Empire, which was neither holy, Roman nor an empire. Today we have the United Nations. Here it would seem that since these things can be so-called even though they are not Holy Roman United Nations, these phrases should be regarded not as definite descriptions, but as names.
Side 95 - Wait a little longer. He has a lantern by his side. Perhaps it may enlighten you a little." And then he added, loudly and very seriously : " Be silent, if you please, till he has finished what he has to say." The men obeyed. Then the poulterer continued : "You are not so civil as people usually are in this country. Why don't you let me finish ? Remember the poulterer of Arnheim. If you do not hear every word I have to say, the next newspaper will be full of you; for there is not a syllable of truth...
Side 110 - Then we will not pull him down, he fills too important a place." Lieut. "I have been considering about it." 5. SCHOOL ORGANIZATION Next morning the lieutenant began with his school.
