Pàgina 276 - The only point where human bliss stands still, And tastes the good without the fall to ill ; Where only merit...
Pàgina 157 - Two principles in human nature reign; Self-love, to urge, and reason, to restrain; Nor this a good, nor that a bad we call, Each works its end, to move or govern all: And to their proper operation still Ascribe all good; to their improper, ill.
Pàgina 157 - All Nature is but art, unknown to thee All chance, direction, which thou canst not see; All discord, harmony not understood; All partial evil, universal good: And, spite of pride, in erring reason's spite, One truth is clear, Whatever is, is right.
Pàgina 155 - Know, all the good that individuals find, Or God and nature meant to mere mankind, Reason's whole pleasure, ^all the joys of sense, Lie in three words, health, peace, and competence.
Pàgina 235 - All the virtues of mankind are to be counted upon a few fingers, but his follies and vices are innumerable.
Pàgina 157 - Self-love, the spring of motion, acts the soul ; Reason's comparing balance rules the whole. Man, but for that, no action could attend, And but for this, were active to no end : Fixed like a plant on his peculiar spot, To draw nutrition, propagate, and rot ; Or, meteorlike, flame lawless thro' the void, Destroying others, by himself destroyed.
Pàgina 158 - And each vacuity of sense by Pride : These build as fast as Knowledge can destroy; In folly's cup still laughs the bubble joy; One prospect lost, another still we gain, And not a vanity is given in vain: Even mean self-love becomes, by force divine, The scale to measure others
Pàgina 224 - Angels, which are spirits immaterial and intellectual, the glorious inhabitants of those sacred palaces, where nothing but light and blessed immortality, no shadow of matter for tears, discontentments, griefs, and uncomfortable passions to work upon, but all joy, tranquillity, and peace, even for ever and ever doth dwell...
Pàgina 156 - The struggling pangs of conscious truth to hide, To quench the blushes of ingenuous shame, Or heap the shrine of luxury and pride With incense kindled at the Muse's flame.
Pàgina 21 - Monosyllables, and words accented on the last syllable, ending with a single consonant preceded by a single vowel, double that consonant, when they take another syllable beginning with a vowel: as, wit, witty; thin, thinnish ; to abet, an abettor ; to begin, a beginner.
