119 페이지 - All the images of nature were still present to him, and he drew them not laboriously, but luckily : when he describes any thing, you more than see it, you feel it too. Those who accuse him to have wanted learning, give him the greater commendation : he was naturally learned ; he needed not the spectacles of books to read nature ; he looked inwards, and found her there.
289 페이지 - I have ever hated all nations, professions, and communities, and all my love is towards individuals ; for instance, I hate the tribe of lawyers, but I love Counsellor such-aone, and Judge such-a-one.

136 페이지 - He seemed to be a Christian," adds the bishop, " but in a particular form of his own ; he thought it was to be like a divine philosophy in the mind ; but he was against all public worship and everything that looked like a church.
253 페이지 - I found that there were good books in these two sciences in Latin ; I bought a dictionary, and I learned Latin.
