Side 53 - I said in mine heart, Go to now, I will prove thee with mirth, therefore enjoy pleasure: and, behold, this also is vanity. I said of laughter, It is mad: and of mirth, What doeth it?
Side 204 - But," continued my father, more gravely, " when some one sorrow, that is yet reparable, gets hold of your mind like a monomania ; when you think, because Heaven has denied you this or that, on which you had set your heart, that all your life must be a blank — oh ! then diet yourself well on biography — the biography of good and great men.

And he said, Be it far from me, O Lord, that I should do this: is not this the blood of the men that went in jeopardy of their lives?
Side 205 - ... well on biography, the biography of good and great men. See how little a space one sorrow really makes in life. See scarce a page, perhaps, given to some grief similar to your own ; and how triumphantly the life sails on beyond it ! You thought the wing was broken ! Tut, tut, it was but a bruised feather ! See what life leaves behind it when all is done ! — a summary of positive facts far out of the region of sorrow and suffering, linking themselves with the being of the world. Yes, biography...
