Página 318 - C[ Of all the amusements which can possibly be imagined for a hard-working man, after his daily toil, or in its intervals, there is nothing like reading an entertaining book.

Página 190 - No character, however harmoniously framed and gloriously gifted, can be complete without this abiding principle : it is the cement which binds the whole moral edifice together, without which all power, goodness, intellect, truth, happiness, love itself, can have no permanence ; but all the fabric of existence crumbles away from under us, and leaves us at last sitting in the midst of a ruin, — astonished at our own desolation.
