Page 371 - I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.
Page 76 - Day, like our souls, is fiercely dark ; What then ? 'Tis day !• We sleep no more ; the cock crows — hark ! To arms ! away !

No, by the mind of man ! By the swart artisan ! By God, our sire! Our souls have holy light within; And every form of grief and sin Shall see and feel its fire, By earth, and hell, and heaven, The shroud of souls is riven!
Page 377 - To give a stronger impulse and a more systematic direction to scientific inquiry; to promote the intercourse of those who cultivate science in different parts of the British Empire with one another, and with foreign philosophers ; to obtain a more general attention to the objects of science, and a removal of any disadvantages of a public kind which impede its progress.
Page 279 - Yes, I will tell you readily about my creatures, whom I endeavoured to paint as nearly as I could and dared ; for, in some cases, I dared not.
