The seeds of things are very small. George Eliot.
The seers are wholly a greater race than the thinkers; (yet) a true thinker, who has a practical purpose in his thinking, and is sincere, as Plato, or Carlyle, or Helps, becomes in some sort a seer, and must be always of infinite use in his generation. Ruskin.
The self-same sun that shines upon his court / Hides not his visage from our cottage, but / Looks on alike. Winter's Tale, iv. 3.
The sense of beauty never furthered the performance of a single duty. Ruskin.
The sense of death is most in apprehension, / 10 And the poor beetle that we tread upon / In corporal sufferance finds a pang as great / As when a giant dies. Meas. for Meas., iii. 1.
The sense of human dignity was the chief moral agent of antiquity, and the sense of sin of mediævalism. H. Lecky.
The sense of the infinite nature of Duty is the central part of all with us; a ray as of Eternity and Immortality, immured in dusky many-coloured Time, and its births and deaths. Carlyle.
The senses do not deceive us, but the judgment does. Goethe.
The sentimental by and by will have to give place to the practical. Carlyle.
The serenity that is not felt, it can be no 15 virtue to feign. Johnson.
