Sivu 280 - For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts ; even one "thing befalleth them : as the one dieth, so dieth the other ; yea, they have all one br,, ith ; so that a man hath no pre-eminence above a beast : for all is vanity.

Sivu 246 - III.) to be of greater antiquity than any other nation ; and it is probable, that, born under the sun's path, its warmth may have ripened them earlier than other men. They suppose themselves also to be the inventors of divine worship, of festivals, of solemn assemblies, of sacrifices, and every other religious practice.
Sivu 254 - In the Declaration of Rights, there is an inversion of ideas in the first article, liberty being placed before equality, from which it in reality springs. This defect is not to be wondered at ; the science of the rights of man is a new science : it was invented yesterday by the Americans, to-day the French are perfecting it, but there yet remains a great deal to be done.

I am therefore inclined to believe, that the inhabitants of Lower Egypt were originally a foreign colony imported from Syria and Arabia, a medley of different tribes of savages, originally shepherds and fishermen, who, by degrees formed themselves into a nation,...
Sivu 266 - Plutarch, from the verses of Orpheus and the sacred books of the Egyptians and Phrygians, that the ancient theology, not only of the Greeks but of all nations, was nothing more than a system of physics, a picture of the operations of nature, wrapped up in...
