His allies are his scourges, his enemies are his protectors. He would cease to be a king were the English to cease being victorious.
Sivu 307 - State ; together with the Advantages they possess for several Branches of Industry, and the Means by which they may be improved.

Sivu 185 - God, the father of mercies, has designed to grant us in France. You know with what zeal, with what pious ardour, the French people have in our person revered the supreme pastor of the catholic church. That which you have been apprised of, far from surpassing, even falls short of the truth.
