Bad as the world is , respect is always paid to virtue . In the usual course of human affairs , it will be found , that a plain understanding joined with acknowledged worth , contributes more to prosperity , than the brightest parts ...

Let it be associated in your imagination , with all that is manly and useful ; with whatsoever things are true , are just , are pure , are lovely , are of good report , wherever there is any virtue , and wherever there is any praise .

This is the basis of every virtue . That darkness of character , where we can see no heart ; those foldings of art , through which no native affection is allowed to penetrate , present an object , unamiable in every season of life ...

Sloth is so inconsistent with both , that it is hard to determine whether it be a greater foe to virtue , or to health and happiness . Inactive as it is in itself , its effects are fatally powerful . Though it appear a slowly flowing ...

Generous ambition , and sensibility to praise , are , especially at your age , among the marks of virtue . Think not , that any affluence of fortune , or any elevation of rank , exempts you from the duties of application and industry .

Populaire passages
Pagina 60 - To them his heart, his love, his griefs were given, But all his serious thoughts had rest in heaven. As some tall cliff that lifts its awful form, Swells from the vale, and midway leaves the storm, Though round its breast the rolling clouds are spread, Eternal sunshine settles on its head.
Pagina 4 - If the Spring put forth no blossoms, in Summer there will be no beauty, and in Autumn. no fruit. So if youth be trifled away without improvement, manhood will be contemptible, and old age miserable.
Pagina 8 - Though poor the peasant's hut, his feasts though small, He sees his little lot the lot of all ; Sees no contiguous palace rear its head, To shame the meanness of his humble shed ; No costly lord the sumptuous banquet deal, To make him loathe his vegetable meal : But calm, and bred in ignorance and toil, Each wish contracting, fits him to the soil.
Pagina 57 - A man he was to all the country dear, And passing rich with forty pounds a year ; Remote from towns he ran his godly race, Nor e'er had changed, nor wished to change his place...
Pagina 64 - Fairest of stars, last in the train of night, If better thou belong not to the dawn, Sure pledge of day, that crown'st the smiling morn With thy bright circlet, praise Him in thy sphere, While day arises, that sweet hour of prime.
Pagina 66 - His praise, ye Winds, that from four quarters blow, Breathe soft or loud ; and, wave your tops, ye Pines, With every plant, in sign of worship wave.
Pagina 58 - But in his duty prompt at every call, He watched and wept, he prayed and felt for all ; And, as a bird each fond endearment, tries, To tempt its new-fledged offspring to the skies, He tried each art, reproved each dull delay, Allured to brighter worlds, and led the way.
Pagina 32 - First Fear his hand, its skill to try, Amid the chords bewilder'd laid, And back recoil'd, he knew not why, Ev'n at the sound himself had made. Next Anger rush'd; his eyes on fire In lightnings own'd his secret stings; In one rude clash he struck the lyre, And swept with hurried hand the strings.
Pagina 51 - If solid happiness we prize, Within our breast this jewel lies; And they are fools who roam : The world has nothing to bestow ; From our own selves our joys must flow, And that dear hut, our home.
Pagina 42 - I felt such undescribable emotions within me, as I am sure could not be accounted for from any combinations of matter and motion.
