Stran 252 - A statute can seldom take in all cases. Therefore the Common Law, that works itself pure by rules drawn from the fountain of justice, is for this reason superior to an act of Parliament...
Stran 384 - Education makes a man a more intelligent shoemaker, if that be his occupation, but not by teaching him how to make shoes ; it does so by the mental exercise it gives, and the habits it impresses.
Stran 129 - Actions, Sensations, and States of Feeling, occurring together or In close succession, tend to grow together, or cohere, in such a way that, when any one of them is afterwards presented to the mind, the others are apt to be brought up In idea
Stran 384 - Men are men before they are lawyers, or physicians, or merchants, or manufacturers ; and if you make them capable and sensible men, they will make themselves capable and sensible lawyers or physicians.
Stran 167 - Independence and nationality, so essential to the due growth and development of a people further advanced in improvement, are generally impediments to theirs.

Nothing has so steadying an influence as working against pressure. Unless when under the temporary sway of passionate excitement, no one will do that which he expects to be greatly blamed for, unless from a preconceived and fixed purpose of his own; which is always evidence of a thoughtful...
Stran 451 - All the arts of expression tend to keep alive and in activity the feelings they express. Do you think that the great Italian painters would have filled the place they did in the European mind, would have been universally ranked among the greatest men of their time, if their productions had done nothing for it but to serve as the decoration of a public hall or a private...
Stran 411 - The most obvious part of the value of scientific instruction, the mere information that it gives, speaks for itself. /We are born into a world which we have not made; a world whose phenomena take place according to fixed laws, of which we do not bring any knowledge into the world with us. In such a world we are appointed to live, and in it all our work is to be done. Our whole working power depends on knowing the laws of the world — in other words, the properties of the things which we have to...
