Side 298 - I should (said He) Bestow this jewel also on My creature, He would adore My gifts instead of Me, And rest in nature, not the God of nature : So both should losers be. Yet let him keep the rest, But keep them with repining restlessness : Let him be rich and weary, that at least, If goodness lead him not, yet weariness May toss him to My breast.
Side 281 - Brief and powerless is man's life ; on him and all his race the slow sure doom falls pitiless and dark. Blind to good and evil, reckless of destruction, omnipotent matter rolls on its relentless way; for Man, condemned to-day to lose his dearest, to-morrow himself to pass through the gate of darkness, it remains only to cherish, ere yet the blow falls, the lofty thoughts that ennoble his little day...

Side 99 - Ah! Vanitas Vanitatum! which of us is happy in this world? Which of us has his desire? or, having it, is satisfied? come, children, let us shut up the box and the puppets, for our play is played out.
Side 200 - Conclusion' was omitted in the second edition of this book, as I conceived it might possibly mislead some of those young men into whose hands it might fall.
Side 210 - ... only sustain my contention that no temporary friendship can be enjoyed except as you forget its temporary character. The motive of friendship is very deeply involved with the motive of immortality, of religion, and of life itself. Just as the thought of the finitude of friendship chills the ardour of friendship so does the thought of death dissipate the zest for life. Therefore death is not mentioned in polite society. James points out that no one can think steadily of his own death. Suppose...
Side 110 - Let me have men about me that are fat, Sleek-headed men, and such as sleep o' nights. Yond Cassius has a lean and hungry look; He thinks too much; such men are dangerous.
Side 266 - To anyone who has tried to live in sympathy with the Greek philosophers, the suggestion that they were " intellectualists " must seem ludicrous. On the contrary, Greek philosophy is based on the faith that reality is divine, and that the one thing needful is for the soul, which is akin to the divine, to enter into communion with it.
Side 210 - ... tendencies, these quick and intense reasoners suppose that I am vacillating in my own opinions. My own opinions are a minor matter, and there was usually no need, for the task in hand, that I should put them forward ; yet as a matter of fact, since I reached the age of manhood, they have not changed.
