第 97 頁 - We shall march prospering, - not thro' his presence; Songs may inspirit us, - not from his lyre; Deeds will be done, - while he boasts his quiescence, Still bidding crouch whom the rest bade aspire: Blot out his name, then, record one lost soul more, One task more declined, one more footpath untrod, One more devil's triumph and sorrow for angels, One wrong more to man, one more insult to God!

第 82 頁 - I have had the honour to know Mr. Mazzini for a series of years ; and, whatever I may think of his practical insight and skill in worldly affairs, I can with great freedom testify to all men that he, if I have ever seen one such, is a man of genius and virtue, a man of sterling veracity, humanity and nobleness of mind, one of those rare men, numerable unfortunately but as units in this world, who are worthy to be called...

" THOMAS CARLYLE.
第 60 頁 - ... but I would make you frown or scorn. We have a different conception of life, and are condemned here down to walk on two parallels. Still it is the feeling of those duties that saves me from the atheism of despair, and leads me through a life every day more barren and burdensome, in a sort of calm composed manner — such, I repeat, as the consciousness of something everlasting within us claims from every living mortal. For...
第 62 頁 - Can you, in a word, love them less because they are far from sight? I have often thought that the arrangement by which loved and loving beings are to pass through death is nothing but the last experiment appointed by God to human love...
第 83 頁 - ... scoundrelism, be not resorted to in England, except in cases of the very last extremity. When some new Gunpowder Plot may be in the wind, some double-dyed high treason, or imminent national wreck not avoidable otherwise, then let us open letters — not till then. " To all Austrian Kaisers and such like, in their time of trouble, let us answer, as our fathers from of old have answered : — Not by such means is help here for you.
第 83 頁 - Italian democracies and young Italy's sorrows, of extraneous Austrian Emperors in Milan, or poor old chimerical Popes in Bologna, I know nothing, and desire to know nothing ; but this other thing I do know, and can here declare publicly to be a fact, which fact all of us that have occasion to comment on Mr. Mazzini and his affairs may do well to take along with us, as a thing leading towards new clearness, and not towards new additional darkness, regarding him and them.
第 60 頁 - ... you have been conjuring up. It is only you who can teach yourself that, whatever the present may be, you must front it with dignity, with a clear perception of all your duties, with a due reverence...
