Página 156 - There are many more shining qualities in the mind of man, but there is none so useful as discretion; it is this indeed which gives a value to all the rest, which sets them at work in their proper times and places, and turns them to the advantage of the person who is possessed of them. \\ ithout it, learning is pedantry...
Página 285 - I am sorry to find that an author, who is very justly esteemed among the best judges, has admitted some strokes of this nature into a very fine poem ; I mean the Art of Criticism *, which was published some months since, and is a master-piece in its kind.

Página 100 - Intention, we shall find that it destroys the Merit of a Good Action; abates, but never takes away, the 'Malignity of an Evil Action ; and leaves an Indifferent Action in its natural state of Indifference. It is therefore of unspeakable Advantage to possess our Minds with an habitual Good Intention, and to aim all our Thoughts, Words and Actions at some laudable End, whether it be the Glory of our Maker, the Good of Mankind, or the Benefit of our own Souls.
Página 224 - A man who is furnished with arguments from the mint, will convince his antagonist much sooner than one who draws them from reason and philosophy. Gold is a wonderful clearer of the understanding; it dissipates every doubt and scruple in an instant ; accommodates itself to the meanest capacities ; silences the loud and clamorous, and brings over the most: obstinate and inflexible.
