 Exemple de propoziții și/sau fraze: 

I am sure I can never feel thankful enough for the generosity with which he has protected me, so much younger and lower in the school than himself.

(David Copperfield, de Charles Dickens)

When I think of the kindness and favour I have met with, of her excellence and patience, and my uncle's generosity, I am mad with joy: but when I recollect all the uneasiness I occasioned her, and how little I deserve to be forgiven, I am mad with anger.

(Emma, de Jane Austen)

Here and there, human nature may be great in times of trial; but generally speaking, it is its weakness and not its strength that appears in a sick chamber: it is selfishness and impatience rather than generosity and fortitude, that one hears of.

(Persuasion, de Jane Austen)
