Página 139 - Osiris, took the virgin Truth, hewed her lovely form into a thousand pieces, and scattered them to the four winds.

Página 242 - Men are never so likely to settle a question rightly as when they discuss it freely. A government can interfere in discussion only by making it less free than it would otherwise be. Men are most likely to form just opinions when they have no other wish than to know the truth, and are exempt from all influence, either of hope or fear. Government, as government, can bring nothing but the influence of hoj^s and fears to support its doctrines.
Página 378 - ... eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither hath it entered into the heart of man, what things God hath prepared for them that love Him
Página 116 - ... quae cum magna modis multis miranda videtur gentibus humanis regio visendaque fertur, rebus opima bonis, multa munita virum vi, nil tamen hoc habuisse viro praeclarius in se nee sanctum magis et mirum carumque videtur. 730 carmina quin etiam divini pectoris eius vociferantur et exponunt praeclara reperta, ut vix humana videatur stirpe creatus.
Página 164 - We often hear it said that the world is constantly becoming more and more enlightened, and that this enlightening must be favourable to Protestantism, and unfavourable to Catholicism. We wish that we could think so. But we see great reason to doubt whether this be a well founded expectation.
Página 333 - Thou shalt sprinkle me with hyssop, and I shall be cleansed : thou shalt wash me, and I shall be made whiter than snow.
