Seite 226 - Extol not riches then, the toil of fools, The wise man's cumbrance, if not snare; more apt To slacken virtue, and abate her edge Than prompt her to do aught may merit praise.
Seite 358 - My mind seems to have become a kind of machine for grinding general laws out of large collections of facts ; but why this should have caused the atrophy of that part of the brain alone on which the higher tastes depend, I cannot conceive.
Seite 440 - Well, then; I have received personal information from a very high quarter that a certain document of the last importance has been purloined from the royal apartments.
