I formerly made a dictionary of her phrases, to amuse M. de Luxembourg, and her 'qui pro quos' often became celebrated among those with whom I was most intimate. But this person, so confined in her intellects, and, if the world pleases, so stupid, can give excellent advice in cases of difficulty.
But in the ardent desire to enrich her copy with something which was not in the other, what should I fall upon but these unfortunate adventures, and I concluded on making an extract from them to add to the work; a project dictated by madness, of which the extravagance is inexplicable, except by the blind fatality which led me on to destruction. 'Quos vult perdere Jupiter dementet.
Upon this ground Zanchius affirmed, Ecclesiæ Christi liberum esse quos velit præter dominicos dies sibi sanctificandos deligere. And by this warrant did the primitive church sanctify those five anniversary days of Christ’s nativity,” &c. Nay, let us observe how one of them wavereth from himself in seeking here some ground to rest upon.

I answered the advertisement certainly, but I was not particularly anxious to come here, nor am I anxious to stay.

Respect so far the holy laws of this fellowship as not to prejudice its perfect flower by your impatience for its opening. We must be our own before we can be another's.

To those whom we admire and love, at first we cannot.
And then the poor boy fancied himself sitting under the gas-lamp in the passage as he had so often done, and trying to master one of his repetition lessons, repeating the lines fast to himself as he used to do "`Hac arte Pollux et vagus Hercules, Enisus enisus arces enisus arces attigit igneas, Quos inter Augustus "How does it go on?
