Employment.-Young.

LIFE'S cares are comforts; such by Heaven design'd;
He that has none, must make them, or be wretched.
Cares are Employments; and without Employ

The soul is on a rack; the rack of rest,

To souls most adverse; Action all their joy.
Employment. — Burton.

EMPLOYMENT, which Galen calls "nature's physician," is so essential to human happiness, that Indolence is justly considered as the mother of Misery.

Employment. - La Bruyere.

LAZINESS begat wearisomeness, and this put men in quest of diversions, play and company, on which however it is a constant attendant; he who works hard, has enough to do with himself otherwise.

Energy. - Shakspeare.
OUR remedies oft in ourselves do lie,

Which we ascribe to Heaven: the fated sky
Gives us free scope; only, doth backward pull
Our slow designs, when we ourselves are dull.
Energy.-Rowe.

THE wise and active conquer difficulties,

By daring to attempt them: sloth and folly
Shiver and shrink at sight of toil and hazard,
And make the impossibility they fear.

England. Shakspeare.

Is not their climate foggy, raw and dull?
On whom, as in despite, the sun looks pale,
Killing their fruit with frowns?

Enjoyment. St. Evremond.

IMPERFECT Enjoyment is attended with regret; a surfeit of pleasure with disgust. There is a certain nick of time, a certain medium to be observed, with which few people are acquainted.

Enjoyment. Horace.

BUSY yourself not in looking forward to the events of tomorrow; but whatever may be those of the days Providence may yet assign you, neglect not to turn them to advantage.

Enthusiasm. —S. T. Coleridge.

ENLIST the interests of stern Morality and religious Enthusiasm in the cause of Political Liberty, as in the time of the old Puritans, and it will be irresistible.

Enthusiasm. — Kant.

ENTHUSIASM is always connected with the Senses, whatever be the object that excites it. The true strength of Virtue is serenity of mind, combined with a deliberate and steadfast Determination to execute her laws. That is the healthful condition of the Moral Life; on the other hand, Enthusiasm, even when excited by representations of goodness, is a brilliant but feverish glow, which leaves only exhaustion and languor behind.

Enthusiasm.- Colton.

THE Romans laid down their liberties at the feet of Nero, who would not even lend them to Cæsar; and we have lately seen the whole French Nation rush as one man from the very extremes of Loyalty, to behead the mildest Monarch that ever ruled them, and conclude a sanguinary career of plunder, by pardoning and rewarding a Tyrant, to whom their blood was but water, and their groans but wind; thus they sacrificed one that died a martyr to his clemency, and they rewarded another, who lived to boast of his murders.

Enthusiasm.-Fitzosborne.

I LOOK upon Enthusiasm, in all other points but that of Religion, to be a very necessary turn of mind; as indeed it is a vein which nature seems to have marked with more or less strength, in the tempers of most men. No matter what the object is, whether Business, Pleasures, or the Fine Arts; whoever pursues them to any purpose, must do so con amore.

The dumb men throng to see him, and the blind
To hear him speak: The matrons flung their gloves,
Ladies and maids their scarfs and handkerchiefs,
Upon him as he pass'd: the nobles bended,
As to Jove's statue; and the commons made
A shower and thunder, with their caps and shouts ;
I never saw the like.

Ennui.-Byron.

FOR Ennui is a growth of English-root,

Though nameless in our language :—we retort
The fact for words, and let the French translate

That awful Yawn which Sleep cannot abate.

Envy. Ovid.

ENVY feeds upon the living; after death it ceases; then every man's well-earned Honours defend him against Calumny.

M

Envy. Spenser.

AND if she hapt of any good to heare,
That had to any happily betid,

Then would she inly fret, and grieve, and teare
Her flesh for felnesse, which she inward hid:
But if she heard of ill that any did,

Or harme that any had, then would she make
Great cheare, like one unto a banquet bid;
And in another's losse great pleasure take,

As she had got thereby, and gayned a great stake.
Envy. - Pope.

THERE is some good in Public Envy, whereas in Private there is none; for Public Envy is as an ostracism that eclipseth men when they grow too great; and therefore it is a bridle also to great ones to keep within bounds.

Enby. Shenstone.

THERE is nothing more universally commended than a fine day; the reason is, that people can commend it without Envy. Envy. - Spenser.

HER hands were foule and durtie, never washt
In all her life, with long nayles over raught,

Like puttock's clawes, with th' one of which she scratcht
Her cursed head, although it itched naught;
The other held a snake with venime fraught,

On which she fed and gnawed hungrily,

As if that long she had not eaten aught;
That round about her jawes one might descry
The bloudie gore and poyson dropping loathsomely.
Envy. - Lord Clarendon.

IF Envy, like Anger, did not burn itself in its own fire, and consume and destroy those persons it possesses, before it can destroy those it wishes worst to, it would set the whole world on fire, and leave the most excellent persons the most miserable.

Enby. Colton.

THE benevolent have the advantage of the Envious, even in this present life; for the Envious is tormented not only by all the ill that befalls himself, but by all the good that happens to another; whereas the benevolent man is the better prepared to bear his own calamities unruffled, from the complacency and serenity he has secured, from contemplating the prosperity of all around him.

Envy. Colton.

THE Hate which we all bear with the most Christian Patience, is the Hate of those who Envy us.

Enby.-S. T. Coleridge.

GENIUS may co-exist with Wildness, Idleness, Folly, even with Crime; but not long, believe me, with Selfishness and the indulgence of an Envious Disposition. Envy is κάκιστος καὶ δικαιότατος Sɛós, as I once saw it expressed somewhere in a page of Stobæus: it dwarfs and withers its worshippers.

Enby.-La Rochefoucauld.

THE truest mark of being born with great qualities is being born without Envy.

Enby. Clarendon.

ENVY is a Weed that grows in all soils and climates, and is no less luxuriant in the Country than in the Court; is not confined to any rank of men or extent of fortune, but rages in the breasts of all degrees. Alexander was not prouder than Diogenes; and it may be, if we would endeavour to surprise it in its most gaudy dress and attire, and in the exercise of its full empire and tyranny, we should find it in Schoolmasters and Scholars, or in some Country Lady, or the Knight her Husband; all which ranks of people more despise their neighbours, than all the degrees of honour in which courts abound: and it rages as much in a sordid affected dress, as in all the silks and embroideries which the excess of the age and the folly of youth delight to be adorned with. Since then, it keeps all sorts of Company, and wriggles itself into the liking of the most contrary natures and dispositions, and yet carries so much poison and venom with it, that it alienates the affections from Heaven, and raises rebellion against God himself, it is worth our utmost care to watch it in all its disguises and approaches, that we may discover it in its first entrance, and dislodge it before it procures a shelter or retiring place to lodge and conceal itself.

Envy. Colton.

ENVY ought, in strict truth, to have no place whatever allowed it in the heart of man; for the goods of this present world are so vile and low, that they are beneath it; and those of the future world are so vast and exalted, that they are above it.

Enby.-Colton.

то diminish Envy, let us consider not what others possess, but what they enjoy: mere Riches may be the gift of lucky accident or blind chance, but Happiness must be the result of prudent preference and rational design; the highest Happiness then can have no other foundation than the deepest Wisdom; and the happiest fool is only as happy as he knows how to be.

Envy. — Colton.

EMULATION looks out for merits, that she may exalt herself by a victory; Envy spies out blemishes, that she may lower another by a defeat.

A

Envy. Spenser.

ND next to him malicious Envy rode

Upon a ravenous wolfe, and still did chaw
Between his cankred teeth a venemous tode,
That all the poison ran about his jaw;
But inwardly he chawed his owne maw
At neighbour's welth that made him ever sad;
For death it was when any good he saw;
And wept, that cause of weeping none he had;
And when he heard of harme he wexed wondrous glad.

EQUALITY is one of the most consummate scoundrels that ever crept from the brain of a political juggler—a fellow who thrusts his hand into the pocket of honest Industry or enterprising Talent, and squanders their hard-earned profits on profligate Idleness or indolent Stupidity.

Equality. Shakspeare.

TAKE but Degree away, untune that string,

And, hark, what discord follows! each thing meets

In mere oppugnancy: The bounded waters

Should lift their bosoms higher than the shores,
And make a sop of all this solid globe:

Strength should be lord of Imbecility,

And the rude son should strike his father dead:
Force should be Right.

Equality. Shakspeare.

ARE we not Brothers?

So man and man should be;

But clay and clay differs in dignity,
Whose dust is both alike.

THE King is but a Man, as I am the violet smells to him as it doth to me; the element shows to him as it doth to me; all his senses have but human conditions: his ceremonies laid by, in bis nakedness he appears but a Man; and though his affections are higher mounted than ours, yet, when they stoop, they stoop with the like wing.
