10. oldal - If to do were as easy as to know what were good to do, chapels had been churches and poor men's cottages princes' palaces. It is a good divine that follows his own instructions : I can easier teach twenty what were good to be done, than be one of the twenty to follow mine own teaching.
6. oldal - Gratiano speaks an infinite deal of nothing, more than any man in all Venice. His reasons are as two grains of wheat hid in two bushels of chaff : you shall seek all day ere you find them, and when you have them, they are not worth the search.
i. oldal - Stretch'd forth his little arms and smiled. " This pencil take, (she said,) whose colours clear Richly paint the vernal year : Thine too these golden keys, immortal Boy !
