Seite 182 - On the contrary, false happiness loves to be in a crowd, and to draw the eyes of the world upon her. She does not receive any satisfaction from the applauses which she gives herself, but from the admiration which she raises in others.
Seite 182 - True happiness is of a retired nature, and an enemy to pomp and noise ; it arises, in the first place, from the enjoyment of one's self ; and, in the next, from the friendship and conversation of a few select companions ; it loves shade and solitude, and naturally haunts groves and fountains, fields and meadows : in short, it feels every thing it wants within itself, and receives no addition from multitudes of witnesses and spectators.
Seite 264 - I have money, and I have real estate," he says. The girl has read in novels that it is better to be an old man's darling than a young man's slave, and so she may be drawn by the commercial offering.
Seite 108 - I have no more to say by way of clearing my innocency, knowing that to a true, Christian, unprejudiced mind, I must appear guiltless ; but, however, I am not very solicitous about it. I rejoice, and it is now my comfort, (and that will support me and protect me from the crowd of evil spirits that I must meet with in my flight to the region of bliss assigned me, ) that my conscience speaks peace to me. Indeed, it may be shocking to some serious Christians, that the holy God should suffer...
Seite 107 - I never knew them but at my trial. But for a removal of all scruples that may arise after my death, I shall give my thoughts on some points. First, I firmly believe and attest, that it is not in the power of man to forgive sin; that it is the prerogative only of the great God to dispense pardon for sin; and that those who dare pretend to such a power, do in some degree commit that great and unpardonable sin, the sin against the holy spirit; because they pretend to that power which their own consciences...
Seite 107 - ... to suffer a death attended with ignominy and pain. But it is the cup that my Heavenly Father has put into my hand, and I drink it with pleasure It is the cross of my dear Redeemer; I bear it with alacrity, knowing that all that live godly in Christ Jesus must suffer persecution, and we must be made in some degree partakers of His sufferings before we can share in the glories of His resurrection; for He went not up to glory before He ascended mount Calvary; did not wear the crown of glory before...
Seite 269 - The rare and happy combination of invention, judgment, and experience, requisite to produce such a work as Tom Jones, is seldom twice found in the same country; while thousands of mere romance-writers flourish and are forgotten in every age. In the raw material for the latter species of fiction, it must be acknowledged this country is quite deficient. Fairies, giants, and goblins are not indigenous here, and with the exception of a few witches that were soon exterminated, our worthy ancestors brought...
Seite 266 - The best and most perfect works of imagination appear to me to be those which are founded upon a combination of such characters as every generation of men exhibits, and such events as have often taken place in the world, and will again. Such works are only fictions, because the tissue of events which they record never perhaps happened in precisely the same train, and to the same number of persons, as are exhibited and associated in the relation. Real life is fraught with adventures, to which the...
Seite 107 - Hughson, his wife, or the creature that was hanged with them. I never saw them living, dying, or dead ; nor ever had I any knowledge or confederacy with white or black, as to any plot : and, upon the memorials of the body and blood of my dearest Lord, in the creatures of bread and wine, in which I have commemorated the love of my dying Lord, I protest that the witnesses are perjured...
Seite 107 - I am to stand, in the presence of this God, the possessor of heaven and earth, I lift up my hands and solemnly protest I am innocent of what is laid to my charge: I appeal to the great God for my non-knowledge of...
