This quotation from Demosthenes is only another way of saying it: "As a vessel is known by the sound whether it is cracked or not, so men are proved by their speeches whether they be wise or foolish." Conversation should be lively without noise. It is not well-bred to be demonstrative in action while speaking, to talk loudly, or to laugh boisterously.
In "The Journal of the American Medical Association," dated April 26,1890, published at Chicago, I am reported, in quotation marks, as saying, "Give me opium, wine, and milk, and I will cure all diseases to which flesh is heir." In the first place, I never said I will cure, or can cure, or would or could cure, or had cured any disease. My venerated instructor, Dr.
The quotation from Deuteronomy, which Luke gives in a less complete form than Matthew, implies, even in that incomplete form, that bread is not the only means of keeping a man in life, but that God can feed Him, as He did Israel in its desert life, with manna; or, if manna fails, by the bare exercise of His divine will.
Jefferson, I was satisfied in my own mind that his conduct on that point would be so and so. But I certainly never did tell your father that I had any authority from Mr. Jefferson to communicate any thing to him or to any other person. I asked him what he would state in his deposition. He answered similar to the quotation you have sent.
"O for a life of sensations rather than of thoughts," he exclaims in one of his letters; and in another, "It is more noble to sit like Jove than to fly like Mercury." His work has one message and one only, the lastingness of beauty and its supreme truth. It is stated in Endymion in lines that are worn bare with quotation. It is stated again, at the height of his work in his greatest ode,
The italics in this quotation are mine, as they also are in those which follow. As if this were an extraordinary or unusual circumstance! Certainly, they have; and so have all prominent men in all professions and all pursuits of life, in every age and every country, not even excepting the much-lauded men of Great Britain and the continent of Europe.
Swancourt looked rather red and abashed, as middle-aged lovers are apt to do when caught in the tricks of younger ones. 'Well, yes; I think I did, he stammered; 'just to please her, you know. And then recovering himself he laughed heartily. 'And was this what your Horatian quotation referred to? 'It was, Elfride. They stepped into the drawing-room from the verandah. At that moment Mrs.
For these words imply, Blessed are they who, placing their trust in the Stauros, have gone down into the Water." This further reference to the non-Mosaic initiatory rite of baptism is followed by a quotation of Ezekiel xlvii. 12, which speaks of a river by whose side grow trees those who cat the fruit of which grow for ever.

It is Christ speaking, and the quotation is from His Imitation."
A year older than me. Oh, ought I to have said 'than I'? That always puzzles me." "You have Milton on your side. He wrote: Satan than whom no higher sat. Still, it is generally allowed that Milton wrote bad grammar there." Cynthia was awed momentarily a quotation from "Paradise Lost" always commands respect so she harked back to an easier topic.
