Strana 191 - But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak : for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak. For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you.
Strana 191 - And Saul said to David, Thou art not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him : for thou art but a youth, and he a man of war from his youth.
Strana 474 - By constitution we mean, whenever we speak with propriety and exactness, that assemblage of laws, institutions, and customs, derived from certain fixed principles of reason, directed to certain fixed objects of public good, that compose the general system, according to which the community hath agreed to be governed.
Strana 474 - ... states, yet in that very weakness she has found her strength in the beneficent career she was destined to pursue. Our age has seen her assumption of her proper place in the republic of letters, and we ourselves are witnesses how, in this new sphere of distinction, she has exhibited the same strength which more than a thousand years ago enabled her to lay in this island the basis of government, of which, if we are true to ourselves, a thousand years will scarcely see the overthrow.
Strana 173 - For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for the desolate hath many more children than she which hath an husband.
Strana 99 - Your petition bears no signature," said Francis. " True, sire," was the admiral's reply ; " but if you will allow us to meet for the purpose, I will undertake, in one day, to obtain fifty thousand signatures in Normandy alone." Such an assertion, from such lips, was no unholy gasconade, but indicated a threatening and deep reality of danger. As the result of the debates which followed, as no one seemed able to grasp the great idea of liberty of...
Strana 180 - Innocent was the true pope, and the lawful head upon earth of the Church of Christ. Louis, acquiescing in this sentence, immediately placed his kingdom under the obedience of Innocent ; and Bernard became the patron of his cause in all the other states of Europe. He enforced it successfully on the kings of England, Scotland, Arragon, and Jerusalem, in letters conceived (to judge of them collectively from a single specimen) in a tone as authoritative as had ever been assumed at the palace of the Lateran....
Strana 495 - To the question of Voltaire, then, Why has England so long and so successfully maintained her free government, and her free institutions ? I answer, because England is still, as she has always been, German ; because her national franchises are the spontaneous and legitimate fruit of her national character ; of that character, dutiful, serious, persevering, reverential, and hopeful, which had been transmitted to us from our Anglo-Saxon ancestors, and which it now remains for us to transmit to our...
Strana 473 - What was the effect of the undisturbed development df the German habits of thought and action in our own land, it remains for us to inquire. I have already avowed my belief, that to each of the nations of the earth belongs, by a divine decree, a distinctive character adapted to the peculiar office assigned to each, in the great and comprehensive system of human affairs. Thus to France was appointed, by the Supreme Ruler of mankind, the duty of civilising and humanising the European world. To England...
Strana 473 - Romano-Gallic, over the Teutonic element of society. What was the effect of the slow and imperfect fusion of the two races in that kingdom, I have attempted, in a former lecture, to explain. What was the effect of the undisturbed development of the German habits of thought and action in our own land, it remains for us to inquire.
