Page 93 - O WELL for him whose will is strong ! He suffers, but he will not suffer long ; He suffers, but he cannot suffer wrong : For him nor moves the loud world's random mock, Nor all Calamity's hugest waves confound, Who seems a promontory of rock, That, compass'd round with turbulent sound, In middle ocean meets the surging shock, Tempest-buffeted, citadel-crown'd.

Here, a boy, he dwelt through all the singing season And ere the day of sorrow departed as he came.
Page 78 - A SCEPTIC IN RELIGION Is one that hangs in the balance with all sorts of opinions, whereof not one but stirs him and none sways him. A man guiltier of credulity than he is taken to be; for it is out of his belief of everything, that he fully believes nothing.
Page 227 - Many of our men of speculation, instead of exploding general prejudices, employ their sagacity to discover the latent wisdom which prevails in them.
Page 45 - Nor deal in watchwords overmuch : Not clinging to some ancient saw ; Not master'd by some modern term ; Not swift nor slow to change, but firm : And in its season bring the law...
Page 218 - It lay, and had for some years lain, mainly in one man — a man in many ways the most remarkable that England has seen during this century, perhaps the most remarkable whom the English Church has produced in any century, — John Henry Newman.
