Halaman 130 - ... nor can all which the cold-hearted pedant stuns our ears with upon the subject, ever give one answer of satisfaction to the mind ; in the midst of the loudest vauntings of philosophy, nature will have her yearnings for society and friendship ; a good heart wants some object to be kind to — and the best parts of our blood, and the purest of our spirits, suffer most under the destitution.
Halaman 189 - I am glad that you are in love — 'twill cure you at least of the spleen, which has a bad effect on both man and woman — I myself must ever have some Dulcinea in my head — it...

Halaman 142 - Revenge from some baneful corner shall level a tale of dishonour at thee, which no innocence of heart or integrity of conduct shall set right. — The fortunes of thy house shall totter, - thy character, which led the way to them, shall bleed on every side of it, - thy faith questioned, - thy works belied, - thy wit forgotten, - thy learning trampled on.
Halaman 76 - Sermons,' with his own comick figure, from a painting by Reynolds, at the head of them ? They are in the style I think most proper for the pulpit, and show a strong imagination and a sensible heart ; but you see him often tottering on the verge of laughter, and ready to throw his periwig in the face of the audience.
Halaman 281 - Harry Goddard is here, and informs me that our cousin Betty Lumley is married to a Parson t who once delighted in debauchery, who is possessed of about £100 a year in preferment, and has a good prospect of more. What hopes our relation may have of settling the affections of a light and fickle man I know not, but I imagine she will set about it not by means of the beauty but of the arm of flesh.
Halaman 247 - It having been observed that there was little hospitality in London : JOHNSON. "Nay, Sir, any man who has a name, or who has the power of pleasing, will be very generally invited in London. The man Sterne, I have been told, has had engagements for three months." GOLDSMITH. "And a very dull fellow.
