Uarda : a Romance of Ancient Egypt. Complete

Repugnance for the old laws began to take root in his heart

Seditious words are like sparks, which are borne by the wind

Successes, like misfortunes, never come singly

The beginning of things is not more attractive

The scholar’s ears are at his back: when he is flogged

The man within him, and not on the circumstances without

The dressing and undressing of the holy images

The experienced love to signify their superiority

The mother of foresight looks backwards

Think of his wife, not with affection only, but with pride

Those whom we fear, says my uncle, we cannot love

Thou canst say in words what we can only feel

Thought that the insane were possessed by demons

Title must not be a bill of fare

Trustfulness is so dear, so essential to me

Use words instead of swords, traps instead of lances

We quarrel with no one more readily than with the benefactor

Whether the form of our benevolence does more good or mischief

Youth should be modest, and he was assertive
