Страница 150 - ... who entered like a fox, reigned like a lion, and died like a dog.
Страница lxii - Amyot, dans le cardinal d'Ossat, dans les ouvrages les plus enjoués, et dans les plus sérieux : il avoit je ne sais quoi de court, de naïf, de hardi, de vif et de passionné.
Страница 228 - I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, And will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent." Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?

She, by little and little, slily and unperceived, slips in the foot of her authority, but having by this gentle and humble beginning, with the benefit of time, fixed and established it, she then unmasks a furious and tyrannic countenance, against which we have no more the courage or the power so much as to lift up our eyes.
Страница 78 - I find it could no otherwise be expressed, than by making answer: because it was he, because it was I.
Страница 58 - I came, so deep, so low, and dismal, that I shall never have the heart to descend into it again.
Страница 80 - Common friendships will admit of division; one may love the beauty of this person, the goodhumour of that, the liberality of a third, the paternal affection of a fourth, the fraternal love of a fifth, and so of the rest: but this friendship that possesses the whole soul, and there rules and sways with an absolute sovereignty, cannot possibly admit of a rival.
