Download or read book Wit Wisdom and Folly written by J. Villin Marmery and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-12-03 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wit, Wisdom and Folly: Pen and Pencil Flashes They necessarily are, regardless of expense, offer the ordinary reader precisely what he wants short stories of a more or less sensational char acter, enlivened almost at every page by pictures which make the text exceedingly attractive. The publishers, alive to the change that has taken place of late years, were not slow in understand ing that, in order to 'bait' the subscriber and 'land him, ' it was imperative to draw his eye and his mind in an equal degree, and they supplied him with the only nourishment which could satisfy his sluggish mental appetite. And the food presented to him is, in consequence, often 'gruel and treacle, ' fit for babes, and just as often 'pickles and spice, ' fit for rowdies. The writer of these pages, taking up a magazine from a railway bookstall not long ago, was not a little astonished to count twelve ghost and spirit stories out of the fourteen which made up the number. Magazine tales are by no means always of this description, it is true. Many are tales of adventures and war; many are tales of love; some are good studies of life, well-thought-out and elegantly written, and some are idyllic or romantic tales of fiction, delightfully told; but a great number - too many are blood-curdling, 'dagger-and-poison' stories, written with the view of depicting base instincts and unfolding hideous crimes - the only object being, apparently, to arouse no nobler sensation than morbid curiosity.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wit, Wisdom and Foibles of the Great: Together With Numerous Anecdotes Illustrative of the Characters of People and Their Rulers It may be argued that an anecdote is at times only the reflection from an inconsiderable facet; yet it cannot be denied that light is frequently shed on the characters of men by the anecdotes in which they figured as well as those of which they were only the relators, or the relation of which interested them, even if in these anecdotes the line of veracity has become somewhat undulating by frequent handling.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wit and Wisdom of Epictetus For we come into the world having by nature no idea of a right-angled triangle or of a quarter-tone, or of a semi-tone, but by a certain tradition of art we learn each of these things. And thus those who know them not, do not suppose that they know them. But good and evil, and nobleness and baseness, and the seemly and the unseemly, and happi ness and misfortune, and what is our concern and what is not, and what ought to be done and what not - who has come into the world without an im planted notion of these things Thus we all use these terms, and endeavour to fit our natural conceptions to every several thing. Behold, the beginning of philosophy is the observation of how men contradict one another, and the search whence comes this contradiction, and the censure and mistrust of bare opinion. And it is an inquiry into that which seems, whether it rightly seems; and the discovery of a certain rule, even as we have found a balance for weights and a plumb linefor straight and crooked. This is the beginning of philosophy. Are all things right to all to whom they seem so? But how can contradictory things be right?

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Thousand Flashes of French: Wit, Wisdom, and Wickedness Reader: As an amateur botanist, I have penetrated some avenues of the vast garden of literature, and I have gathered flowers of different species to compose a bouquet which I offer to you. Occasionally, I have allowed myself to insert some of my own thoughts among those of the great thinkers here represented, as one shelters timid violets by planting them at the foot of majestic oaks. In compiling this, book, I have carefully excluded everything that would seem objectionable to you, my liberal but virtuous reader, the English language being more austere than the French in its expressions; but, after having paid a legitimate tribute to your just susceptibilities, I have, without timorous scruples, preserved such piquant gems as could be enjoyed without endangering your morals.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wisdom, Wit, and Allegory: Selected From the Spectator Many of the papers in the Specfator were merely of a temporary interest, treating of the fashions of the day, the vices, rudenesses, and absurdities of the town and country of the period, now obsolete; but a large number of the papers are of a permanent and sterling nature, and well worthy of preservation. From the latter class the present selection has been made, and it contains, to quote the words of a recent writer on Addis'on, many admirably written essays on subjects of abiding interest and importance, on characters, virtues, vices, and manners, which will chequer society while the human race endures; and a judicious selection of which can never fail to present indescribable charms to the man of taste, piety, philan thropy, and refinement.
