Էջ 144 - Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; And let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, And walk in the ways of thine heart, And in the sight of thine eyes: But know thou, that for all these things God will bring thee into judgment.
Էջ 144 - I communed with mine own heart, saying, Lo, I am come to great estate, and have gotten more wisdom than all they that have been before me in Jerusalem : yea, my heart had great experience of wisdom and knowledge. And I gave my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly : I perceived that this also is vexation of spirit. For in much wisdom is much grief : and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.
Էջ 216 - No flocks that range the valley free, To slaughter I condemn; Taught by that Power that pities me, I learn to pity them: " But from the mountain's grassy side A guiltless feast I bring ; A scrip with herbs and fruit.s supplied, And water from the spring.

Էջ 158 - It may have been so, sir. But I have a bad opinion of Black. I don't think he would stick at much." "It is just this, Geoff, as I believe: that Black's case is an illustration of the old saying, ' Give a dog a bad name, and hang him.
Էջ 245 - O God, if there be a God, save my soul, if I have a soul !' This was followed by a general laugh.
Էջ 187 - Examen philosophique des Considerations sur le Sentiment du Sublime et du Beau, d'Emmanuel Kant.
Էջ 69 - Or, voici sa manière de surveiller : il établit à ma porte, dans la rue, des espions qui mesuivoient à pied quand ma voiture alloit doucement, et qui prenoient des cabriolets pour ne pas me perdre de vue dans mes courses à la campagne. Cette manière de faire la police me paroissoit réunir tout à la fois le machiavélisme français à la lourdeur allemande. Les autrichiens se sont persuadés qu'ils ont été battus faute d'avoir autant d'esprit que les Français , et...
Էջ 143 - It is good that thou shouldest take hold of this; yea, also from this withdraw not thine hand : for he that feareth God .shall come forth of them all. 19 Wisdom strengtheneth the wise more than ten mighty men which are in the city.
