It belongs to wisdom to determine when to act and when to cease ; when to reveal, and when to conceal a matter ; when to speak, and when to keep silence ; when to give, and when to receive ; in short, to regulate the measure of all things, as well as to determine the end, and provide the means of obtaining the end, pursued in every deliberate course of action.

Page 343 - They were more numerous than the majority of even studious men ever read in their whole lives ; yet these were a few prolegomena introductory to the office of a parish priest. We, too, conceive that it befits our dignity to magnify ourselves at certain seasons. The commencement of a session is usually the time chosen ; and then, what a crowd of wonderful things are marshalled by authority around the entrance of our profession ! And through this crowd, it is implied, every man must press his way before...
Page 482 - After the tumour has become solid and prominent, a new action takes place in it, and the tumour ulcerates and sloughs alternately, with a great deal of pain and suffering, and it is destroyed down to its basis, so as to present the appearance of a foul excavated ulcer, except in its circumference, where the skin is raised, thickened, and everted, and from time to time warts are generated, which again ulcerate and slough, till the patient becomes gradually worn out by suffering, but without having...
