This is the way of life, which will lead a man out of the miseries of the nineteenth century,...
Página 127 - That is by no means so clear, my lady," returned Malcolm, "as you seem to think. A man may be bound to hold by things that are his rights, but certainly not because they are rights. One of the grandest things in having rights is that, being your rights, you may give them up — except, of course, they involve duties with the performance of which the abnegation would interfere.
Página 147 - ... insisted that he laid down his life ; that he allowed them to take it. Now I ask whether that grandest thing, crowning his life, the yielding of it to the hand of violence, he had not learned also from his Father. Was his death the only thing he had not so learned?
