Side 56 - Love suffereth long, and is kind; love envieth not; love vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her 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. Love never faileth...
Side 43 - The love of praise, howe'er conceal'd by art, Reigns, more or less, and glows, in every heart : The proud, to gain it, toils on toils endure ; The modest shun it, but to make it sure.
Side 25 - I may venture to affirm of the rest of mankind, that they are nothing but a bundle or collection of different perceptions, which succeed each other with an inconceivable rapidity, and are in a perpetual flux and movement.

Side 52 - In whichever way we look at the matter, morality is based on feeling, not on reason ; though reason alone is competent to trace out the effects of our actions and thereby dictate conduct. Justice is founded on the love of one's neighbour; and goodness is a kind of beauty.
Side 44 - I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man . . . not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.
Side 52 - Justice is founded on the love of one's neighbour ; and goodness is a kind of beauty. The moral law, like the laws of physical nature, rests in the long run upon instinctive intuitions, and is neither more nor less " innate " and " necessary " than they are. Some people cannot by any means be got to understand the first book of Euclid ; but the truths of mathematics are no less necessary and I binding on the great mass of mankind.
