Стр. 22 - 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...
Стр. 128 - O thou invisible spirit of wine ! if thou hast no name to be known by, let us call thee devil.
Стр. 84 - There is one way of profaning the Lord's Day which is so prolific of evil results, that we consider it our duty to utter against it a special condemnation. This is the practice of selling beer or other liquors on Sunday, or of frequenting places where they are sold.
Стр. 126 - We are convinced that if a statesman who heartily wished to do the utmost possible good to his country were thoughtfully to inquire which of the topics of the day deserved the most intense force of his attention, the true reply, the reply which would be exacted by full deliberation, would be that he should study the means by which this worst of plagues can be stayed.

If this agent do really for the moment cheer the weary and impart a flush of transient pleasure to the...
Стр. 100 - I do not mean by this that extreme indulgence which produces drunkenness. The habitual use of fermented liquors to an extent far short of what is necessary to produce that condition, and such as is quite common in all ranks of society, injures the body and diminishes the mental power to an extent which I think few people are aware of.
Стр. 93 - ... total abstainers and the like say of themselves and those who do not agree with them. I am one who do not, and I am going to say why ; and as I think my opinion as good and virtuous as theirs, with the additional merit of being right, I am going to state it without asking pardon for it or myself. Drink — yes, drink ! I mean by that, drink which cheers and, if you take too much, inebriates. Drink as Mr. Justice Maule understood it, when he was asked by the bailiff, who had sworn to give the...
Стр. 84 - This is the practice of selling beer or other liquors on Sunday, or of frequenting places where they are sold. This practice tends more than any other to turn the day of the Lord into a day of dissipation, to use it as an occasion for breeding intemperance. While we hope that...
