Unter mancherlei wunderlichen Albernheiten der Schulen kommt mir keine so vollkommen lächerlich vor, als der Streit über die Aechtheit alter Schriften, alter Werke. Ist es denn der Autor oder die Schrift die wir bewundern oder tadeln? es ist immer nur der Autor, den wir vor uns haben; was kümmern uns die Namen, wenn wir ein Geisteswerk auslegen? —Среди разнообразных странных глупостей ученых школ ничто не кажется мне столь совершенно смешным и нелепым, как спор об аутентичности старых текстов, старых произведений.

Unwept, unhonour'd, and unsung. Скотт.
Unwilling service earns no thanks. Дат. посл. 10
Unwise work, if it but persist, is everywhere struggling towards correction and restoration to health; for it is still in contact with Nature, and all Nature incessantly contradicts it, and will heal it or annihilate it; not so with unwise talk, which addresses itself, regardless of veridical Nature, to the universal suffrages; and can, if it be dexterous, find harbour there, till all the suffrages are bankrupt and gone to Houndsditch. Карлейль.
Unworthy offspring brag most of their worthy descent. Дат. посл.

Use him (the frog or bait) as if you loved him. Исаак Уолтон.
Use is the judge, the law, and rule of speech. 35 Роскомон.
Use makes a better soldier than the most urgent considerations of duty—familiarity with danger enabling him to estimate the danger. He sees how much is the risk, and is not afflicted with imagination; knows practically Marshal Saxe's rule, that every soldier killed costs the enemy his weight in lead. Эмерсон.
Use sin as it will use you; spare it not, for it will not spare you: it is your murderer, and the murderer of the whole world. Use it, therefore, as a murderer should be used; kill it before it kills you; and though it bring you to the grave, it shall not be able to keep you there. Бакстер.
Use sometimes to be alone. Джордж Герберт.
Use the pen; there is no magic in it, but it keeps the mind from staggering about. (?)

Used with due abstinence, hope acts as a healthful tonic; intemperately indulged, as an enervating opiate. The visions of future triumph, which at first animate exertion, if dwelt upon too intently, will usurp the place of the stern reality; and noble objects will be contemplated, not for their own inherent worth, but on account of the day-dreams they engender. Thus hope, aided by imagination, makes one man a hero, another a somnambulist, and a third a lunatic; while it renders them all enthusiasts. Сэр Дж. Стивен.
