Стр. 21 - The fiist and great lesson — one inculcated equally by philosophy and religion — is that man must expect his chief happiness, not in the present, but in a future state of existence. He alone who acts on this principle will possess his mind in peace under every sublunary vicissitude, and will not care to scramble with feverish envy or angry contention for the idol phantoms which the dupes of pleasure and ambition pursue.
Стр. 37 - I wonder you have time for such illusions, occupied as your mind must be." "So do I. But I find in myself, Lina, two natures; one for the world and business, and one for home and leisure. Gerard Moore is a hard dog, brought up to mill and market: the person you call your cousin Robert is sometimes a dreamer, who lives elsewhere than in cloth-hall and counting-house.
Стр. 87 - But I am not of the opinion they are so numerous as is pretended; their party is more numerous than their persons, and those mistaken people of the Church who are misled and deluded by their wheedling artifices to join with...
Стр. 56 - The Continental people, it would seem, are importing our machinery, beginning to spin cotton, and manufacture for themselves ; to cut us out of this market, and then out of that ! Sad news, indeed ; but irremediable. By no means the saddest news — the saddest news, is that we should find our national existence, as I sometimes hear it said, depend on selling manufactured cotton at a farthing an ell cheaper than any other people. A most narrow stand for a great nation to base...
