Página 213 - When my sons are grown up, I would ask you, O my friends, to punish them; and I would have you trouble them, as I have troubled you, if they seem to care about riches, or anything, more than about virtue; or if they pretend to be something when they are really...
Página 142 - Well ! he may not count it, and a kind Heaven may not count it ; but it is being counted none the less.
