الصفحة 809 - It implied an inconceivable severity of conviction that he had one thing to do, and that he who would do some great thing in this short life, must apply himself to the work with such a concentration of his forces, as, to idle spectators who live only to amuse themselves, looks like insanity.
الصفحة 952 - Yes, said he, with firmness, I think so. Look at yourself, I replied, and consider your hands and fingers, your legs and feet, and other limbs ; are they not regular in their appearance, and useful to you? He said, they were. Came you then hither, said I, by chance ? No, he answered, that cannot be ; something must have made me.
الصفحة 951 - I smiled at the report, and seemed inclined to disregard it; but he insisted on my going to see what had happened. Yes...
