The genuine recipe for the leaven of the Pharisees is still extant, and runs as follows: --Self-deceit 0.33 + want of charity 0.5 + outward show 0.33, humbug infinity, insert Sim or not as required. Reader, let each one who would seem to be righteous take unto himself this leaven.英文原著 · 《Cambridge Pieces》

Somehow they taught the Bible still. Archbishop Laud forbade both. Yet the leaven worked the more for its restriction.英文原著 · 《A Study of Bible》
I say that this prize, and frequent intercourse with those superior women who have won it, would leaven the whole sex with higher views of life than enter their heads at present; would raise their self-respect, and set thousands of them to study the great and noble things that are in medicine, and connected with it, instead of childish things.英文原著 · 《A Woman-Hater》
