Page 57 - He that hath wife and children hath given hostages to fortune ; for they are impediments to great enterprises, either of virtue or mischief.

Page 177 - I consider as an echo of the former, co-existing with the conscious will, yet still as identical with the primary in the kind of its agency, and differing only in degree and in the mode of its operation.
