الصفحة 8 - Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night in which it was said, There is a man child conceived. 4 Let that day be darkness; let not God regard it from above, neither let the light shine upon it.

الصفحة 165 - Be substantially great in thyself, and more than thou appearest unto others ; and let the world be deceived in thee, as they are in the lights of heaven. Hang early plummets upon the heels of pride, and let ambition have but an epicycle and narrow circuit in thee. Measure not thyself by thy morning shadow, but by the extent of thy grave : and reckon thyself above the earth, by the line thou must be contented with under it.
الصفحة 113 - There is no absurdity in supposing future punishment may follow wickedness of course, as we speak, or in the way of natural consequence from* God's original constitution of the world ; from the nature he has given us, and from the condition in which he places us ; or in...
