第 57 頁 - Gradgrind. With a rule and a pair of scales, and the multiplication table always in his pocket, sir, ready to weigh and measure any parcel of human nature, and tell you exactly what it comes to. It is a mere question of figures, a case of simple arithmetic.

第 55 頁 - Now, what I want is, Facts. Teach these boys and girls nothing but Facts. Facts alone are wanted in life. Plant nothing else, and root out everything else. You can only form the minds of reasoning animals upon Facts : nothing else will ever be of any service to them. This is the principle on which I bring up my own children, and this is the principle on which I bring up these children. Stick to Facts, sir...
第 220 頁 - Provisions were liberally supplied. There was no want of beef, which had probably fattened in distant pastures ; nor was any payment demanded : for in hospitality, as in thievery, the Gaelic marauders rivalled the Bedouins.
