第52页 - Truly, shepherd, in respect of itself, it is a good life; but in respect that it is a shepherd's life, it is naught. In respect that it is solitary, I like it very well; but in respect that it is private, it is a very vile life. Now in respect it is in the fields, it pleaseth me well; but in respect it is not in the court, it is tedious.

第194页 - I cannot conclude this despatch without expressing my sense of the importance of the subject of it. My hope is that your experience may enable you to suggest some general plan by which we may acquit ourselves of the obligations which we owe towards this helpless race of beings.
第168页 - To civilize the rude, unpolished world, And lay it under the restraint of laws ; To make man mild, and sociable to man ; To cultivate the wild, licentious savage With wisdom, discipline, and liberal arts — The embellishments of life ; virtues like these Make human nature shine, reform the soul, And break our fierce barbarians into men.
