Страница 140 - Are such abilities made for no purpose ? A brute arrives at a point of perfection that he can never pass : in a few years he has all the endowments he is capable of; and were he to live ten thousand more, would be the same thing he is at present.
Страница 368 - Bagdad, in order to pass the rest of the day in meditation and prayer.
