Stran 224 - Be true! Be true! Be true! Show freely to the world, if not your worst, yet some trait whereby the worst may be inferred!
Stran 94 - Even then we should have to confess that, however we might in ordinary conversation speak of getting the same sensation again, we never in strict theoretic accuracy could do so; and that whatever was true of the river of life, of the river of elementary feeling, it would certainly be true to say, like Heraclitus, that we never descend twice into the same stream. But if the assumption of "simple ideas of sensation...
Stran 93 - To these indirect presumptions that our sensations, following the mutations of our capacity for feeling, are always undergoing an essential change, must be added another presumption, based on what must happen in the brain.

From one year to another we see things in new lights. What was unreal has grown real, and what was exciting is insipid. The friends we used to care the world for are shrunken to shadows; the women, once so divine, the stars, the woods, and the waters, how now so dull and common!
Stran 23 - Though your heart be made of steel, Your forehead lined with brass, God at length will make you feel He will not let you pass : Sinners then in vain will call, (Though they now despise his grace,) Bocks and mountains on us fall, And hide us from his face!
Stran 130 - ... now rolls out these words like bell-strokes. It seems he knows how to speak to his contemporaries. Bashful or bold, then, he will know how to make us seniors very unnecessary.
Stran 148 - To gauge with glance the roaring gulf below, The depths of sin to which I had descended, Had not these me against myself defended.
