Seite 144 - This will be the manner of the king that shall reign over you : He will take your sons, and appoint them for himself, for his chariots, and to be his horsemen; and some shall run before his chariots.
Seite 21 - I have already urged, the practice of that which is ethically best — what we call goodness or virtue — involves a course of conduct which, in all respects, is opposed to that which leads to success in the cosmic struggle for existence. In place of ruthless selfassertion it demands self-restraint; in place of thrusting aside, or treading down, all competitors, it requires that the individual shall not merely respect, but shall help his fellows; its influence is directed, not so much to the survival...
Seite 103 - That wherein God himself is happy, the holy angels are happy, in whose defect the devils are unhappy ; — that dare I call happiness ; whatsoever conduceth unto this may, with an easy metaphor, deserve that name ; whatsoever else the world terms happiness is to me a story out of Pliny, an apparition or neat delusion, wherein there is no more of happiness than the name.

Seite 196 - Since then music is a pleasure, and virtue consists in rejoicing and loving and hating aright, there is clearly nothing which we are so much concerned to acquire and to cultivate as the power of forming right judgments, and of taking delight in good dispositions and noble actions.
Seite 62 - The reason whereof is, they converse but with one sort of men, they read but one sort of books, they will not come in the hearing 'but of one sort of notions ; the truth is, they canton out to themselves a little Goshen in the intellectual world, where light shines, and, as they conclude, day blesses them ; but the rest of that vast expansum they give up to night and darkness, and so avoid coming near it.
Seite vi - Things and actions are what they are, and the consequences of them will be what they will be : Why then should we desire to be deceived?
