Page 322 - I found two nations warring in the bosom of a single state. I found a struggle not of principles but of races, and I perceived that it would be idle to attempt any amelioration of laws or institutions until we could first succeed in terminating the deadly animosity that now separates the inhabitants of Lower Canada into the hostile divisions of French and English.
Page 419 - Now ye shall have three ladies walk to gather flowers, and then we must believe the stage to be a garden. By and by we hear news of shipwreck in the same place, and then we are to blame if we accept it not for a rock. Upon the back of that comes out a hideous monster, with fire and smoke, and then the miserable beholders are bound to take it for a cave. While in the meantime two armies fly in, represented with four swords and bucklers, and then what hard heart will not receive it for a pitched field?
Page 442 - The difficulties and discouragements which attend the Study of the Scriptures, in the way of private judgment...

Him, who neither imitates, nor is within the reach of imitation, no precedent can or ought to bind, no limits to contain.
Page 286 - I scarcely ever met with a better companion ; he has inexhaustible spirits, infinite wit and humour, and a great deal of knowledge...
Page 520 - ... could muster no more than two quarter-masters, and six foremast men capable of working; so that without the assistance of the officers, servants and the boys, it might have proved impossible for us to have reached the island, after we had got sight of it; and even with this assistance they were two hours in trimming the sails.
Page 322 - I expected to find a contest between a government and a people : I found two nations warring in the bosom of a single state : I found a struggle, not of principles, but of races...
Page 281 - I live in a constant endeavour to fence against the infirmities of ill health, and other evils of life, by mirth; being firmly persuaded that every time a man smiles, - but much more so, when he laughs, it adds something to this Fragment of Life.
