Pagina 395 - if any provide not for his own, and especially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel
Pagina 430 - Whether money is to be considered as having an intrinsic value, or as being a commodity, a standard, a measure, or a pledge, as is variously suggested by writers? And whether the true idea of money, as such, be not altogether that of a ticket or counter?

Pagina 301 - There is, according to those philosophers, a life infused throughout all things : the iriip votpbv, irvp Ti\vtKov, an intellectual and artificial fire,* an inward principle, animal spirit, or natural life, producing and forming within, as art doth without, regulating, moderating, and reconciling, the various motions, qualities, and parts, of this mundane system.
Pagina 321 - Would to God many of our countrymen had the same obligations to those Socratic writers ! Certainly where the people are well educated, the art of piloting a state is best learned from the writings of Plato. But among bad men void of discipline and education, Plato, Pythagoras, and Aristotle, themselves, were they living, could do but little good.
