There is a vulgar incredulity, which in historical matters, as well as in those of religion, finds it easier to doubt than to examine.

O! many a shaft, at random sent, Finds mark the archer little meant! And many a word, at random spoken, May soothe or wound a heart that's broken!

The Book of Books Within this ample volume lies The mystery of mysteries. Happiest they of human race To whom their God has given grace To read, to fear, to hope, to pray, To lift the latch, to force the way; But better had they ne'er been born That read to doubt or read to scorn.

Walter Scott 283 quotes

Besides, Rose Bradwardine, bea...

Besides, Rose Bradwardine, beautiful and amiable as we have described her, had not precisely the sort of beauty or merit which captivates a romantic imagination in early youth. She was too frank, too confiding, too kind; amiable qualities, undoubtedly, but destructive of the marvellous, with which a youth of imagination delights to dress the empress of his affections.

I envy thee not thy faith, which is ever in thy mouth but never in thy heart nor in thy practice

I will but confess the sins of my green cloak to my grey friar's frock, and all shall be well again.

Where, where was Roderick then? One blast upon his bugle horn Were worth a thousand men.
