Síða 387 - And remember that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and that the Lord thy God brought thee out thence through a mighty hand and by a stretched out arm: therefore the Lord thy God commanded thee to keep the sabbath day.
Síða 443 - Habit is thus the enormous fly-wheel of society, its most precious conservative agent.

It alone prevents the hardest and most repulsive walks of life from being deserted by those brought up to tread therein.
