26 ページ - But the truth is that the knowledge of external nature, and the sciences which that knowledge requires or includes, are not the great or the frequent business of the human mind. Whether we provide for action or conversation, whether we wish to be useful or pleasing, the first requisite is the religious and moral knowledge of right and wrong ; the next is an acquaintance with the history of mankind, and with those examples which may be said to embody truth and prove by events the reasonableness of...
32 ページ - We live in deeds, not years; in thoughts, not breaths; In feelings, not in figures on a dial. We should count time by heart-throbs. He most lives Who thinks most — feels the noblest — acts the best.
69 ページ - And what is the usual consequence of this weak and foolish regard to the opinions of men ? What the end of thus acting in compliance with custom in opposition to one's own convictions of duty ? It is to lose the esteem and respect of the very men whom you thus attempt to please.

23 ページ - Mirth has an hygienic value that can be hardly overrated while our social life remains what the slavery of vices and dogmas has made it Joy has been called the sunshine of the heart, yet the same sun that calls forth the flowers of a plant is also needed to expand its leaves and ripen its fruits ; and without the stimulus of exhilarating pastimes perfect bodily health is as impossible as moral and mental vigour.
68 ページ - Such a man can never be trusted ; for he has no integrity, and no independence of mind, to obey the dictates of rectitude.

69 ページ - Young men hardly commit a greater mistake, than to think of gaining the esteem of others, by yielding to their wishes, contrary to their own sense of duty. Such conduct is always morally wrong, and rarely fails to deprive one, both of self-respect and the respect of others.
39 ページ - A young lady went to her window in her night clothes to look at something in the street, leaning her unprotected arms on the stone window-sill, which was damp and cold.

64 ページ - Having an hour for their nooning every day, each undertook to use it iu accomplishing a definite purpose ; each persevered for about the same number of months, and each won success at last. One of these two mechanics used his daily leisure hour in working out the invention of a machine for sawing a block of wood into almost any desired shape.
66 ページ - But to have a proper regard to public opinion is one thing ; to make that opinion our rule of action is quite another. The one we may cherish consistently with the purest virtue, and the most unbending rectitude ; the other we cannot adopt, without an utter abandonment of principle and disregard of duty. The young man whose great aim is to please ; who makes the...
