Sida 150 - My panting side was charged, when I withdrew To seek a tranquil death in distant shades. There was I found by one who had himself Been hurt by the' archers. In his side he bore, And in his hands and feet, the cruel scars. With gentle force soliciting the darts, He drew them forth, and heal'd and bade me live.
Sida 26 - ... and, as an aggravation of the evil, it does not, like the others, result from the operation of the great laws of the physical world, but it is the invention of man. The heart of man, raging with the fiercest passions, prompts the hand of man to whet the sword against the life of his own brother.

It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments; As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the Lord commanded the blessing, even life for evermore.

Sida 44 - Thus the honor which is chiefly desirable is equally open to the rich and to the poor, to the learned and to the unlearned, to the wise and to the unwise, as it cometh from God, who is no respecter of persons.
Sida 95 - Let me therefore recommend to you a strict, universal and scrupulous regard to truth. — It will give dignity to your character — it will put order into your affairs — it will excite the most unbounded confidence, so that whether your view be your own interest, or the service of others, it promises you the most assured success.
Sida 88 - ... therefore observe with most authors, that there is no true friendship, but what is founded upon virtuous principles, and directed to virtuous purposes. To love a person who is not worthy of love, is not a virtue, but an error. Neither is there any dependence to be placed in trying cases upon persons unprincipled at bottom. There never was a true friend who was not an honest man.
Sida 150 - If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, Let my right hand forget her cunning. Let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth, If I remember thee not ; If I prefer not Jerusalem Above my chief joy.
