Side 191 - When the ear heard me, then it blessed me; and when the eye saw me, it gave witness to me: Because I delivered the poor that cried, and the fatherless, and him that had none to help him. The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me: and I caused the widow's heart to sing for joy.
Side 33 - ... eye hath not seen, nor the ear heard, nor hath it entered into the heart of man to conceive ; but which Thou hast prepared for them who love Thee.
Side 25 - Yet, perhaps, man is not so malignant as is imagined : idleness leads him into mere excesses than perversity. Opportunities of doing mischief rise in crowds round the man who is unemployed; I pretend not to paint man such as he is, but I have said enough to give a just idea of him, and oblige him to own, that when he unites himself to God, he is a whole, but when separated from him, nothing.

Side 19 - The man, conversant with himself, lives almost perpetually in an enemy's country : boiling blood, a wandering imagination, contradictory desires, fiery passions, raise an intestine war, often attended by the most fatal consequences. — He who desires to guide himself by the rules of wisdom. must pass his life in a continual struggle: for in us there are two men, the terrestrial and the spiritual, who are incessantly at war, and agree only when enlightened Reason is the pilot, and an upright heart...
Side 167 - I know not when, or if ever I shall resume it. , ; A moment's ease, after seven days and nights of continual pain, puts the pen again into my hand. One thing comforts me, that by the favour of heaven my mind acquires strength as my body decays, and there is only one thing that gives me real affliction.
