Sivu 45 - Words are like leaves; and where they most abound, Much fruit of sense beneath is rarely found.
Sivu 60 - I cannot help venturing to disoblige them for their service, by telling them, that the utmost of a woman's character is contained in domestic life ; she is blameable or praise-worthy according as her carriage affects the house of her father, or her husband. All she has to do in this world, is contained within the duties of a daughter, a sister, a wife, and a mother.

Sivu 153 - Sam Ervin President Bush has demonstrated these attributes! ;-) Bush, Laura - First Lady "How goodness heightens beauty!" Hannah Mare "There are no better cosmetics than a severe temperance and purity, modesty and humility, a gracious temper and calmness of spirit; and there is no true beauty without the signatures of these graces in the very countenance.
Sivu 126 - And strike to dust th' imperial powers of Troy ; Steel could the works of mortal pride confound, And hew triumphal arches to the ground. What wonder then, fair nymph ! thy hairs should feel The conquering force of unresisted steel ? CANTO IV.
Sivu 114 - Behold the picture! Is it like ? Like whom ? The things that mount the rostrum with a skip, And then skip down again ; pronounce a text ; Cry — hem ; and reading what they never wrote Just fifteen minutes, huddle up their work, And with a well-bred whisper close the scene...
