I know my duty to my children forbids me to keep them here; take them they are my last earthly comforts, Henry but you must take them away. It may be O God perhaps it must be, that I shall soon follow; but not till I have tried once more. What is this present life to one who has suffered as I have? Nothing. But eternity! O Henry! eternity how can I abandon him to everlasting despair!
It records without rebuke, Noah's drunkenness, Lot's incest, and the lies of Jacob and his mother not only single acts, but usages, such as polygamy and concubinage, are entered on the record without censure. Is that silent entry God's endorsement? The eighth commandment forbids the taking of any part of that which belongs to another. Slavery takes the whole.
If they then find that they have committed an injustice, pride comes in and forbids them to confess, atone for, or recall it. So one misfortune follows another; but the gentlemen pay no heed and find forgetfulness in drinking and gambling, carousing and hunting.
The Dionysian festivals were the great carnivals of antiquity they celebrated the returns of vernal festivity or the joyous vintage, and were in consequence the great holidays of Athens the seasons of universal relaxation.

"You can't expect a man like me, a disciple of Stepton, to take the Roman Catholic view of such a matter." "You are not a clergyman," said Chichester. Malling could not help smiling.
"I must tell you that we are as rich as Baron de Nucingen himself. But the 'Imitation of Jesus Christ' forbids us to regard our wealth as our own. We are only the spenders of it; and if we had any pride in being that, we should not be worthy of dispensing it. It would not be transire benefaciendo; it would be inward enjoyment.
When it is remembered that those who wish to definitely conclude this great national trouble are in the great majority, we stand amazed at the presumption which forbids them to utter a word.
This has always remained the fundamental positive ordinance among the statutes of the Reformation; though it may be fair to take along with it the first of these three Acts, and especially a positive clause in it which forbids bishops to exercise jurisdiction by Papal authority.
