Page 147 - Oh, what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive!
Page 273 - Doubtless God could have made a better berry, but doubtless God never did ; " and so, if I might be judge, " God never did make a more calm, quiet, innocent recreation than angling.
Page 213 - THERE is in souls a sympathy with sounds, And as the mind is pitched the ear is pleased With melting airs or martial, brisk or grave, Some chord in unison with what we hear Is touched within us, and the heart replies.

Page 334 - I have been very fortunate in worldly matters; many men have worked much harder, and not succeeded half so well; but I never could have done what I have done, without the habits of punctuality, order, and diligence, without the determination to concentrate myself on one object at a time, no matter how quickly its successor should come upon its heels, which I then formed.
Page 217 - If this be error and upon me proved, I never writ, nor no man ever loved.
Page 219 - So shalt thou feed on Death, that feeds on men, And Death once dead, there's no more dying then.
