Stran 278 - t; I have use for it. Go, leave me. — (Exit Emilia). I will in Cassio's lodging lose this napkin, And let him find it. Trifles, light as air, Are to the jealous confirmations strong As proofs of Holy Writ.
Stran 454 - Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous: 'not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing.
Stran 258 - Grace was in all her steps. Heaven in her eye, In every gesture dignity and love.
Stran 7 - Syllable of the Matter. This perhaps was a Defect; but this was not all: for where mere Ignorance is to decide a Point between two Litigants, it will always be an even Chance whether it decides right or wrong: but sorry am I to say, Right was often in a much worse Situation than this, and Wrong hath often had Five hundred to one on his Side before that Magistrate; who, if he was ignorant of the Law of England, was yet well versed in the Laws of Nature.
Stran 166 - Sure> madam, I cannot be mistaken in those features ; though meeting you here might almost make me suspect my memory." Miss Matthews 's face was now all covered with scarlet. The reader may easily believe she was on no account pleased with Amelia's presence ; indeed, she expected from her some of those insults, of which virtuous women are generally so liberal to a frail sister ; but she was mistaken, Amelia was not one Who thought the nation ne'er would thrive, Till all the whores were burnt alive.
Stran 7 - ... who, if he was ignorant of the laws of England, was yet well versed in the laws of nature. He perfectly well understood that fundamental principle so strongly laid down in the institutes of the learned Rochefoucault, by which the duty of self-love is so strongly enforced, and every man is taught to consider himself as the centre of gravity, and to attract all things thither. To speak the truth plainly, the justice was never indifferent in a cause but when he could get nothing on either side.
Stran 274 - On heaven's first favourites, and the best of men : The gods, in bounty, work up storms about us, That give mankind occasion to exert Their hidden strength, and throw out into practice Virtues, which shun the day, and lie conceal'd In the smooth seasons and the calms of life.
Stran 4 - By examining carefully the several gradations which conduce to bring every model to perfection, we learn truly to know that science in which the model is formed : as histories of this kind, therefore, may properly be called models of HUMAN LIFE, so, by observing minutely the several incidents which tend to the catastrophe or completion of the whole, and the minute causes whence those incidents are produced, we shall best be instructed in this most useful of all arts, which I call the ART of LIFE.
Stran 436 - The nature of man is far from being in itself evil: it abounds with benevolence, charity and pity, coveting praise and honour, and shunning shame and disgrace. Bad education, bad habits, and bad customs, debauch our nature, and drive it headlong as it were into vice. The governors of the world, and I am afraid the priesthood, are answerable for the badness of it.
