boasts

I hear no one boast, that he hath a knowledge of the Scriptures, but that he owneth a Bible written in golden characters. And tell me then, what profiteth this? The Holy Scriptures were not given to us that we should enclose them in books, but that we should engrave them upon our hearts.

God be thanked, the meanest of his creatures Boasts two soul-sides,-one to face the world with, One to show a woman when he loves her!

We shall march prospering,-not thro' his presence; Songs may inspirit us,-not from his lyre; Deeds will be done,-while he boasts his quiescence, Still bidding crouch whom the rest bade aspire.

We boast our emancipation from many superstitions; but if we have broken any idols, it is through a transfer of idolatry.

Such is the patriot's boast, where'er we roam,- His first, best country ever is at home.

It is common for those that are farthest from God, to boast themselves most of their being near to the Church.

We need two kinds of acquaintances, one to complain to, while to the others we boast.

Achieve results, But never glory in them. Achieve results, But never boast. Achieve results, But never be proud. Achieve results, Because this is the natural way.

Since every man who lives is born to die, And none can boast sincere felicity, With equal mind, what happens, let us bear, Nor joy nor grieve too much for things beyond our care. Like pilgrims to the' appointed place we tend; The world's an inn, and death the journey's end.

I think I may boast myself to be, with all possible vanity, the most unlearned and uninformed female who ever dared to be an authoress.
