Sida 512 - O ! who can hold a fire in his hand By thinking on the frosty Caucasus? Or cloy the hungry edge of appetite By bare imagination of a feast?
Sida 256 - Here is my creed. I believe in one God, the creator of the universe. That he governs it by his providence. That he ought to be worshipped. That the most acceptable service we render to him is doing good to his other children.

Sida 87 - Oh, if the world had but a dozen Arbuthnots in it I would burn my Travels, but however he is not without fault.
