Strana 144 - Of law there can be no less acknowledged than that her seat is the bosom of God, her voice the harmony of the world : all things in heaven and earth do her homage, the veiy least as feeling her care, and the greatest as not exempted from her power...
Strana 216 - Fear no more the frown o' the great, Thou art past the tyrant's stroke; Care no more to clothe, and eat; To thee the reed is as the oak: The sceptre, learning, physic, must All follow this, and come to dust.
Strana 800 - It is none of my business, and it is none of your business, how long they take in determining it. It is none of my business, and it is none of yours, how they go about the business. The country is theirs. The government is theirs. The liberty, if they can get it, and Godspeed them in getting it, is theirs.

Strana 676 - s proud and he 's great, His mind is ta'en up with the things o' the state ; He wanted a wife his braw house to keep, But favor wi' wooin
Strana 640 - How shocking!" as the case might be, and never again referred to it, for she prided herself on a trained mind, which "did not dwell on these things."
