Stranica 423 - You owe this strange intelligence? or why Upon this blasted heath you stop our way With such prophetic greeting? Speak, I charge you. [Witches vanish. Ban. The earth hath bubbles, as the water has, And these are of them.
Stranica 78 - I protest that if some great Power would agree to make me always think what is true and do what is right, on condition of being turned into a sort of clock and wound up every morning before I got out of bed, I should instantly close with the offer.
Stranica 423 - Were such things here as we do speak about? Or have we eaten on the insane root That takes the reason prisoner?
Stranica 70 - ... There is a path that leads to truth so surely, that any one who will follow it must needs reach the goal, whether his capacity be great or small. And there is one guiding rule by which a man may always find this path, and keep himself from straying when he has found it. This golden rule is — give unqualified assent to no propositions but those the truth of which is so clear and distinct that they cannot be doubted.

There is always a tendency that way in Scotland : as it is, at this moment, the Establishment and the Free Kirk are mutually sighing for some compromise which may bring them together again ; and if the proprietors would give up their petty patronage, some flatter themselves it might be arranged. But we are thoroughly...
Stranica 75 - Diana, they cause her to hide among the reeds ; and if they attempt to follow her, they see approaching a Neptune, who threatens them with his trident ; or if they try some other way, they cause some monster who vomits water into their faces, to dart out ; or like contrivances, according to the fancy of the engineers who have made them. And lastly, when the rational soul is lodged in this machine, it will have its principal seat in the brain, and will take the place of the engineer, who ought to...
