Strona 230 - I have protracted my work till most of those whom I wished to please have sunk into the grave, and success and miscarriage are empty sounds : I therefore dismiss it with frigid tranquillity, having little to fear or hope from censure or from praise, (From Preface to Dictionary.) LETTER TO LORD CHESTERFIELD <jth February 1755.
Strona 151 - Though loathed by Charity, might ask for justice! — Not with the fawning tone and crawling mien Of some I see around you — Counts and Princes — Kneeling for favours; — but, erect and loud, As men who ask man's rights!
