Belisarius, blind and mendicant, is thus recompensed by his master; and in the universe which he has conquered, he is employed in bearing to the grave the remains of the poor boy who alone had not abandoned him. This figure of Belisarius is admirable; another so fine is not to be found in the modern school.
Their trouble was a little recompensed by the ease with which they procured an ample provision of cocoa and other nuts. With these they allayed their hunger and their thirst at pleasure; and every man loaded himself with as many as he could carry for his comrades who remained on board the ships.
Generosity, enthusiasm, sensibility, true and ready sympathy all are taken, leaving the man, in many instances nothing but a skilful actor, who apes all the emotions while feeling none.

Petersburg, liberally recompensed by Catherine II. for the services the Ambassador had performed at Constantinople. In May, 1793, the Committee of Public Safety determined to expedite another embassy to the Grand.
That these results could only be accomplished by the eradication of selfishness from the human race, and that it was impossible to extinguish selfishness as long as the money system was kept in force, and individuals were recompensed according to their craftiness to help themselves.
