Page 472 - For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness; all these evil things come from within, and defile the man.
Page 275 - ... in their minds. In Painting it is far better to have a model even to depart from, than to have nothing fixed and certain to determine the idea.

Page 52 - Pensavin, aloud declare Throughout the earth, in everlasting lays, My foes against me wage inglorious war. Oh, tell them, too, that ne'er, among my crimes, Did breach of faith, deceit, or fraud appear ; That infamy will brand to latest times The insults I receive, while captive here.

Page 453 - ... dangerous height. Our divine Lawgiver showed his wisdom equally in what he enjoined, and what he left unnoticed. He knew exactly, what no Pagan philosopher ever knew, where to be silent and where to speak.
