Strona 80 - When all these employments are well conquered, then will the choice histories, heroic poems, and Attic tragedies of stateliest and most regal argument, with all the famous political orations, offer themselves; which if they were not only read, but some of them got by memory, and solemnly pronounced with right accent and grace, as might be taught, would endue them even with the spirit and vigor of Demosthenes or Cicero, Euripides or Sophocles.
Strona 406 - And let us not be weary in well doing : for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. 10 As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.

Strona 334 - ... learning, for rendering some occasional service to the general cause of literature. There is no one Review in this Country but what is conducted with a considerable degree of ability ; and though I decline the task of deciding upon their comparative excellence, I have no hesitation in saying that all of them deserve encouragement from learned men. They much oftener assist than retard the circulation of books — they much oftener extend than check the reputation of good books — they rarely...
Strona 291 - I would tell them that the wise and the good cherish within their own bosom a religion, yet more pure and perfect than any formulary of speculation they externally profess; that their agreements upon points of supreme and indisputable moment is greater, perhaps, than they may themselves suspect; and that upon subjects, the evidence of which is doubtful, and the importance of which is secondary, their difference is nominal rather than real...
Strona 54 - ... through all the indolence and indifference of his character. Harrow, at this time, possessed some peculiar advantages, of which a youth like Sheridan might have powerfully availed himself. At the head of the school was Doctor Robert Sumner, a man of fine talents, but, unfortunately, one of those, who have passed away without leaving any trace behind, except in the admiring recollection of their contemporaries.
