Side 93 - His spear, to equal which the tallest pine Hewn on Norwegian hills to be the mast Of some great ammiral, were but a wand.
Side 167 - And what is a conqueror ? Have not you, too, gone about the earth, like an evil genius, blasting the fair fruits of peace and industry ; — plundering, ravaging, killing, without law, without justice, merely to gratify an insatiable lust for dominion...
Side 281 - But so it is ; one man walks through the world with his eyes o-pen, and an-oth-er with them shut ; and up-on this dif-fer-ence de-pends all the su-pe-ri-or-i-ty of know-ledge the one ac-quires a-bove the oth-er.
Side 167 - I, too, have freely given to the poor what I took from the rich. I have established order and discipline among the most ferocious of mankind, and have stretched out my protecting arm over the oppressed.
