Sivu 77 - The lines of morality are not like the ideal lines of mathematics. They are broad and deep as well as long. They admit of exceptions; they demand modifications. These exceptions and modifications are not made by the process of logic, but by the rules of prudence. Prudence is not only the first in rank of the virtues political and moral, but she is the director, the regulator, the standard of them all.
Sivu 193 - In many of the houses there is scarcely any ventilation ; dunghills lie in the vicinity of the dwellings; and from the extremely defective sewerage, filth of every kind constantly accumulates. In these horrid dens the most abandoned characters of the city are collected, and from thence they nightly issue to disseminate disease, and to pour upon the town every species of crime and abomination.
Sivu 34 - The Leaders of Industry, if Industry is ever to be led, are virtually the Captains of the World ; if there be no nobleness in them, there will never be an Aristocracy more.
Sivu 241 - The most cautious, official-spoken man amongst us, if carried back on a sudden to the days of Henry the Eighth, would, at the end of the first week, be pursued by a general hue and cry from the authorities, civil and ecclesiastical, for his high and heinous words against King, Church, and State. While now, Alfred Tennyson justly describes our country as " The land, where girt with friends or foes, " A man may say the thing he will.
Sivu 104 - In many of the cottages, also, where synochus prevailed, the beds stood on the ground-floor, which was damp three parts of the year ; scarcely one had a fireplace in the bed-room ; and one had a single small pane of glass stuck in the mud wall, as its only window, with a large heap of wet and dirty potatoes in one corner.
Sivu 145 - The power to make home cheerful and comfortable was never given to her. She knew not the value of cherishing in my father's mind a love of domestic objects. Not one moment's happiness did I ever see under my father's roof. All this dismal state of things I can distinctly trace to the entire and perfect absence of all training and instruction to my mother.
Sivu 94 - ... for it : and we shut people up by thousands in dense towns with no outlets to the country, but those which are guarded on each side by dusty hedges. Now, an open space near a town is one of nature's churches, and it is an imperative duty to provide such things. Nor, indeed, should we stop at giving breathing places to crowded multitudes in great towns. To provide cheap locomotion as a means of social improvement, should be ever in the minds of legislators and other influential persons. Blunders...
Sivu 186 - Commisslon, vol. i. 277. drain, nor any convenience ; and these pest-houses are constantly filled with fever. Some time ago I visited a poor woman in distress, the wife of a labouring man ; she had been confined only a few days, and herself and infant were lying on straw in a vault, through the outer cellar, with a clay floor, impervious to water. There was no light or ventilation in it, and the air was dreadful. I had to walk on bricks across the floor to reach her bed-side, as the floor itself...
Sivu 30 - ... blows, ay, even to those natures we are apt to fancy so hardened to rebuke. Imagine the deadness of heart that must prevail in that poor wretch who never hears the sweet words of praise or of encouragement. Many masters of families, men living in the rapid current of the world, who are subject to a variety of impressions which, in their busy minds, are made and effaced even in the course of a single day, can with difficulty estimate the force of unkind words upon those whose monotonous life leaves...
Sivu 231 - Of the sweet season, there, in colours rich As trees or flowers, are sparkling human dresses! Turn round, and from this height look back upon The town: from its black dungeon gate forth pours, In thousand parties, the gay multitude, All happy, all indulging in the sunshine! All celebrating the Lord's resurrection, And in themselves exhibiting as 'twere A resurrection too — so changed are they,__ So raised above themselves.
