At twenty, Ovid may be the favorite author, Horace at forty, and perhaps Tacitus at fifty.
Seite 63 - And this may arise from a natural weakness of understanding (in whatever the strength of that faculty may consist), or, which is much more commonly the case, it may arise from a want of a proper and welldirected exercise, which alone can make it strong and ready.
Seite 140 - I am convinced that we have a degree of delight, and that no small one, in the real misfortunes and pains of others...
