Side 200 - Produce ! Produce ! Were it but ' the pitifullest infinitesimal fraction of a Product, produce it in ' God's name ! 'Tis the utmost thou hast in thee : out with it ' then. Up, up ! Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with ' thy whole might. Work while it is called Today ; for the Night ' cometh, wherein no man can work.
Side 200 - O thou that pinest in the imprisonment of the Actual, and criest bitterly to the gods for a kingdom wherein to rule and create, know this of a truth: the thing thou seekest is already with thee, "here or nowhere,
Side 195 - I then said, that the Fraction of Life can be increased in value not so much by increasing your Numerator as by lessening your Denominator. Nay, unless my Algebra deceive me, Unity itself divided by Zero will give Infinity. Make thy claim of wages a zero, then; thou hast the world under thy feet.

Side 223 - In the Symbol proper, what we can call a Symbol, there is ever, more or less distinctly and directly, some embodiment and revelation of the Infinite; the Infinite is made to blend itself with the Finite, to stand visible, and as it were, attainable there.
Side 271 - Thus, like some wild-flaming, wild-thundering train of Heaven's Artillery, does this mysterious MANKIND thunder and flame, in long-drawn, quick-succeeding grandeur, through the unknown Deep.
