Strana 311 - Thou shalt not commit adultery : but I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her, hath committed adultery already with her in his heart.
Strana 29 - To plain me to the gods against them both. But when I call to mind I am a king, Methinks I should revenge me of my wrongs, That Mortimer and Isabel have done. But what are kings, when regiment is gone, But perfect shadows in a sunshine day?
Strana 78 - I have thought on its contents, and weighed them in the balance of reason. I find in it nothing which may not be approved and defended, but some things which, as mysteries, it is safer to suppress and conceal than to bring before the common people.
Strana 114 - Caraffa, ipocrita infingardo, Che tien per coscienza spirituale Quando si mette del pepe in sul cardo. Paul IV. brought the first period of the transition to an end. There were no attempts at dislodging the Spaniard, no Papal wars, no tyranny of Papal nephews converted into feudal princes, after his days.
Strana 281 - I ought to be like a corpse, which has neither will nor understanding, or like a small crucifix, which is turned about at the will of him who holds it, or like a staff in the hands of an old man, who uses it as may best assist or please him.
Strana 65 - ... villages round Milan; in every city the pestilence swept off its hundreds daily; manufactures, commerce, agriculture, the industries of town and rural district, ceased; the Courts swarmed with petty nobles, who vaunted paltry titles; and resigned their wives to cicisbei...

None the less, the history of this period (1530-1600) in Italy is a prolonged, a solemn, an inexpressibly heartrending tragedy. It is the tragic history of the eldest and most beautiful, the noblest and most venerable, the freest and most gifted of Europe's daughters,...
Strana 459 - ESSAYS WRITTEN IN THE INTERVALS OF BUSINESS. To which is added an Essay on Organisation in Daily Life. Crown 8vo.
Strana 79 - Lord may not be rent and torn. It was this consideration, I suppose, which moved those good men who lately laid before pope Paul a plan of reforming Christianity, to advise that the Colloquies of Erasmus should be banished from our republic, as Plato formerly banished the poems of Homer from his.
Strana 210 - ... quali l'autorità del principe e magistrati temporali è difesa dalle usurpazioni ecclesiastiche, dove l'autorità delli concili e delli vescovi è difesa dalle usurpazioni della corte romana, dove le ipocrisie o tirannidi con quali, sotto pretesto di religione, il populo è ingannato o violentato, sono manifestate. In somma non fu mai trovato il più bell'arcano per adoperare la religione a far gli uomini insensati.
