Page 12 - ... the art of directing the great sources of power in nature for the use and convenience of man, as the means of production and of traffic in states.
Page 761 - To be honest, to be kind — to earn a little and to spend a little less, to make upon the whole a family happier for his presence, to renounce when that shall be necessary and not be embittered, to keep a few friends but these without capitulation — above all, on the same grim condition, to keep friends with himself — here is a task for all that a man has of fortitude and delicacy.
Page 538 - Bathed in the sacred dews of morn The wide aerial landscape spread — The world which was ere I was born, The world which lasts when I am dead ; Which never was the friend of one, Nor promised love it could not give, But lit for all its generous sun, And lived itself, and made us live.
Page 764 - A late lark twitters from the quiet skies ; And from the west, Where the sun, his day's work ended, Lingers as in content, There falls on the old, gray city An influence luminous and serene, A shining peace. The smoke ascends In a rosy-and-golden haze. The spires Shine, and are changed. In the valley Shadows rise. The lark sings on.

Page 535 - Enter each and all, and use their service, Speak from every mouth — the speech, a poem. Hardly shall I tell my joys and sorrows, Hopes and fears, belief and disbelieving: I am mine and yours — the rest be all men's, Karshish, Cleon, Norbert and the fifty.
Page 346 - God their honours yield, His life adorns the law. 2 A careful providence shall stand, And ever guard thy head, Shall on the labours of thy hand Its kindly blessings shed. 3 Thy wife shall be a fruitful vine ; Thy children, round thy board, Each like a plant of honour shine, And learn to fear the Lord.
Page 344 - HAPPY the heart where graces reign, Where love inspires the breast ; Love is the brightest of the train, And strengthens all the rest. 2 Knowledge, alas ! 'tis all in vain, And all in vain our fear ; Our stubborn sins will fight and reign If love be absent there. 3...
