220. oldal - OH! BREATHE NOT HIS NAME. OH I breathe not his name, let it sleep in the shade. Where cold and unhonour'd his relics are laid : Sad, silent, and dark, be the tears that we shed, As the night-dew that falls on the grass o'er his head. But the night-dew that falls, though in silence it weeps, Shall brighten with verdure the grave where he sleeps ; And the tear that we shed, though in secret it rolls, Shall long keep his memory green in our souls.

I can ask pardon of my God, and my king ; but it would be hypocrisy to ask forgiveness of these men for an action which I should repeat, were I placed again in similar circumstances. " ' No ! ask me not to sign that petition. If what you call the cause of American freedom requires the blood of an honest man for a conscientious discharge of what he deemed his duty, let me be its victim.
90. oldal - BOUCHER. Of prejudice it has been truly said, that it has the singular ability of accommodating itself to all the possible varieties of the human mind. Some passions and vices are but thinly scattered among mankind, and find only here and there a fitness of reception. But prejudice, like the spider, makes everywhere its home.
90. oldal - There is scarcely a situation, except fire and water, in which a spider will not live. So let the mind be as naked as the walls of an empty and forsaken tenement, gloomy as a dungeon, or ornamented with the richest abilities of thinking ; let it be hot, cold, dark or light, lonely or inhabited, still prejudice, if undisturbed, will fill it with cobwebs, and live like the spider, where there seems nothing to live on. If the one prepares her food by poisoning it to her palate and her use, the other...
196. oldal - ... few problems arising in such practice which cannot be solved by simple arithmetic or algebraic processes. If to these we add graphic methods, not requiring analytical skill, we have all that is necessary for the handling of quite difficult questions. The rule of three even is a very satisfactory tool in the hands of one who knows how to use it, and a large part of physics at least can be taught to one having nothing but the rule of three on which to depend. There are many successful engineers...
