Seite 181 - ... a human soul without education like marble in the quarry, which shows none of its inherent beauties, until the skill of the polisher fetches out the colours, makes the surface shine, and discovers every ornamental cloud, spot, and vein that runs through the body of it.

Seite 164 - ... as fast as we attain them ? Our case is like that of a traveller upon the Alps, who should fancy that the top of the next hill must end his journey, because it terminates his prospect ; but he no sooner arrives at it, than he sees new ground and other hills beyond it, and continues to travel on as before.

Seite 182 - And what colour of excuse can there be for the contempt with which we treat this part of our species ? that we should not put them upon the common foot of humanity; that we should only set an insignificant fine upon the man who murders them ; nay, that we should as much as in us lies, cut them off...
