Sivu 194 - This world is not a very fine place for a good many of the people in it. But I've made up my mind it shan't be the worse for me, if I can help it. They may tell me I can't alter the world — that there must be a certain number of sneaks and robbers in it, and if I don't lie and filch somebody else will. Well, then, somebody else shall, for I won't. That's the upshot of my conversion, Mr Lyon, if you want to know it.
Sivu 186 - YE who listen with credulity to the whispers of fancy, and pursue with eagerness the phantoms of hope; who expect that age will perform the promises of youth, and that the deficiencies of the present day will be supplied by the morrow ; attend to the history of Rasselas, Prince of Abyssinia.
Sivu 13 - The voice is the voice of Jacob but the hand is the hand of Esau.
Sivu 129 - There is no Good, there is no Bad ; these be the whims of mortal will : What works me weal that call I ' good,' what harms and hurts I hold as ' ill :' They change with place, they shift with race ; and, in the veriest span of Time, Each Vice has worn a Virtue's crown ; all Good was banned as Sin or Crime...

Sivu 131 - Do what thy manhood bids thee do, from none but self expect applause; He noblest lives and noblest dies who makes and keeps his self-made laws. All other Life is living Death, a world where none but Phantoms dwell, A breath, a wind, a sound, a voice, a tinkling of the camel-bell.
Sivu 130 - tis not Here ; mankind must seek and find it There, But Where nor / nor you can tell, nor aught earth-mother ever bare. Enough to think that Truth can be: come sit we where the roses glow. Indeed he knows not how to know who knows not also how to 'unknow.
Sivu 128 - Cease, Man, to mourn, to weep, to wail ; enjoy thy shining hour of sun ; We dance along Death's icy brink, but is the dance less full of fun...
Sivu 172 - And revolution brought upon the cities of Hellas many terrible calamities, such as have been, and always will be, while human nature remains the same, but which are more or less aggravated and differ in character with every new combination of circumstances. In peace and prosperity both States and individuals are actuated by higher motives...
