Seite 41 - Whilst the poor man groaneth on the bed of sickness, whilst the unfortunate languish in the horrors of a dungeon, or the hoary head of age lifts up a feeble eye to thee for pity : O how canst thou riot in superfluous enjoyments, regardless of their wants, unfeeling of their woes ! § 216.
Seite 72 - He hath endued thee with reason, to maintain thy dominion : he hath fitted thee with language, to improve by society ; and exalted thy mind with the powers of meditation, to contemplate and adore his inimitable perfections. And in the laws he hath ordained as the rule of thy life, so kindly hath he suited thy duty to thy nature, that obedience to his precepts is happiness to thyself.
Seite 65 - He forgiveth the injuries of men, he wipeth them from his remembrance; revenge and malice have no place in his heart.
Seite 21 - Whatsoever thou resolvest to do, do it quickly : defer not till the evening what the morning may accomplish. Idleness is the parent of want and of pain ; but the labour of virtue bringeth forth pleasure.
Seite 48 - Prepare him early with instruction, and season his mind with the maxims of truth. Watch the bent of his inclination ; set him right in his youth, and let no evil habit gain strength with his years. So shall he rise like a cedar on the mountains ; his head shall be seen above the trees of the forest.
Seite 122 - Set not thy judgment above that of all the earth ; neither condemn, as falsehood, what agreeth not with thine own apprehension. Who gave thee the power of determining for others ? or who took from the world the right of choice ? How many things have been rejected, which now are received as truths ? How many, now received as truths, shall in their turn be despised ? Of what then can man be certain ? Do the good that thou knowest, and happiness shall be unto thee.
Seite 21 - His body is diseased for want of exercise ; he wisheth for action, but hath not power to move ; his mind is in darkness ; his thoughts are confused ; he longeth for knowledge, but hath no application. He would eat of the almond, but hateth the trouble of breaking its shell.
Seite 64 - O son of society ! examine thy heart ; call remembrance to thy aid : and if in any of these things thou findest thou hast transgressed, take sorrow and shame to thyself, and make speedy reparation to the utmost of thy power.
Seite 23 - He formeth great designs, he rejoiceth in the execution thereof, and his name goeth forth to the ends of the world. But the heart of the envious man is gall and bitterness ; his tongue spitteth venom ; the success of his neighbour breaketh his rest. He sitteth in his cell repining ; and the good that happeneth to another, is to him an evil. Hatred and malice feed upon his heart, and there is no rest in him.
Seite 23 - ... breaketh his rest. He sitteth in his cell repining; and the good that happeneth to another is to him an evil. Hatred and malice feed upon his heart; and there is no rest in him. He feeleth in his own breast no love of goodness; and therefore believeth his neighbor is like unto himself.
