BIBLE.
5. A _friend_ can not be _known_ in _prosperity;_ and an _enemy_ can not be _hidden_ in _adversity_. 6. It is my _living sentiment_, and, by the blessing of God, it shall be my _dying sentiment:_ INDEPENDENCE NOW, and INDEPENDENCE FOREVER. WEBSTER. 7. We live in _deeds_, not _years_,--in _thoughts_, not _breaths_,--in _feelings_, not in _figures on a dial_. We should count time by _heart throbs_. He _most lives_, who THINKS THE MOST,--FEELS THE NOBLEST,--ACTS THE BEST. 8. _You_ have done the _mischief_, and _I_ bear the _blame_. 9. The _wise man_ is happy when he gains his _own_ approbation; the _fool_ when he gains that of _others_. 10. We must hold _them_ as we hold the _rest_ of mankind--_enemies_ in _war_,--in _peace, friends_. JEFFERSON. NOTE IX.--The sense of a passage is varied by changing the place of the emphasis. EXAMPLES. 1. Has _James_ seen his brother to-day? No; but _Charles_ has. |
