Side 141 - From wandering on a foreign strand ? If such there breathe, go, mark him well; For him no minstrel raptures swell ; High though his titles, proud his name, Boundless his wealth as wish can claim, — Despite those titles, power, and pelf, The wretch, concentred all in self, Living, shall forfeit fair renown, And, doubly dying, shall go down To the vile dust from whence he sprung, Unwept, unhonored, and unsung.
Side 441 - ... should approach to the faults of the state as to the wounds of a father, with pious awe and trembling solicitude. By this wise prejudice we are taught to look with horror on those children of their country who are prompt rashly to hack that aged parent in pieces and put him into the kettle of magicians in hopes that by their poisonous weeds and wild incantations they may regenerate the paternal constitution and renovate their father's life.
Side 224 - A physician in a great city seems to be the mere plaything of fortune; his degree of reputation is, for the most part, totally casual — they that employ him know not his excellence; they that reject him know not his deficience.

Side 108 - Au lieu de déplorer la mort des autres, grand prince, dorénavant, je veux apprendre de vous à rendre la mienne sainte ; heureux si , averti par ces cheveux blancs du compte que je dois rendre de mon administration , je réserve au troupeau que je dois nourrir de la parole de vie les restes d'une voix qui tombe et d'une ardeur qui s'éteint.
Side 87 - Yes, said he, with firmness, I think so. Look at yourself, I replied, and consider your hands and fingers, your legs and feet, and other limbs; are they not regular in their appearance, and useful to you? He said, they were. Came you then hither, said I, by chance? No, he answered, that cannot be; something must have made me.
Side 358 - In this situation he is expected to sequester himself from the world, and by a tedious, lonely process to extract the theory of law from a mass of undigested learning ; or else, by an assiduous attendance on the courts, to pick up theory and practice together, sufficient to qualify him for the ordinary run of business.
Side 87 - I see it is so, but there is nothing in this worth notice, it is mere chance ; and I went away. He followed me, and taking hold of my coat, said with some earnestness, it could not be mere chance; for that somebody must have contrived matters so as to produce it.
