taken ignorance men
Charles Caleb Colton It is a curious paradox that precisely in proportion to our own intellectual weakness will be our credulity, to those mysterious powers assumed by others; and in those regions of darkness and ignorance where man cannot effect even those things that are within the power of man, there we shall ever find that a blind belief in feats that are far beyond those powers has taken the deepest root in the minds of the deceived, and produced the richest harvest to the knavery of the deceiver.
taken law wish
Charles Caleb Colton A town, before it can be plundered and, deserted, must first be taken; and in this particular Venus has borrowed a law from her consort Mars.

taken thinking voice
Charles Spurgeon Ah, sinner, may the Lord quicken thee! But it is a work that makes the Saviour weep.

taken blood two
Charles Spurgeon Every sinner must be quickened by the same life, made obedient to the same gospel, washed in the same blood, clothed in the same righteousness, filled with the same divine energy, and eventually taken up to the same heaven, and yet in the conversion of no two sinners will you find matters precisely the same.

taken grieving giving
Charles Spurgeon Your sorrow itself shall be turned into joy. Not the sorrow to be taken away, and joy to be put in its place, but the very sorrow which now grieves you shall be turned into joy.

thinking mind wish
Charles Dickens I never thought before, that there was a woman in the world who could affect me so much by saying so little. But don't be hard in your construction of me. You don't know what my state of mind towards you is. You don't know how you haunt and bewilder me. You don't know how the cursed carelessness that is over-officious in helping me at every other turning of my life WON'T help me here. You have struck it dead, I think, and I sometimes wish you had struck me dead along with it.
voice evil heaven
