Banish gentleness from the earth ; suppose the world to be filled with none but harsh and contentious spirits ; and what sort of society would remain ? the solitude of the desert were preferable to it. The conflict...
Страница 117 - ... time. If you have resolution enough to do this, you cannot but love learning ; for the mind always loves that to which it has been long, steadily and voluntarily attached.
Страница 34 - Were they to give us in their catalogue of such worthies as are now living, how different would it be from that which any of our own species would draw up! We are dazzled with the splendour of titles, the ostentation of learning, the noise of victories...
