Sivu 273 - And let us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion. Whatever may be conceded to the influence of refined education on minds of peculiar structure, reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle.
Sivu 132 - Approach : but awful ! lo ! the /Egerian grot, Where, nobly pensive, St. John* sat and thought ; Where British sighs from dying Wyndham stole, And the bright flame was shot through Marchmont's soul. Let such, such only, tread this sacred floor, Who dare to love their country, and be poor...
Sivu 292 - October, 1899, and show cause why the prayer of said petition should not be granted, and why the proceedings directed in said act of Congress should not be taken.
Sivu 95 - It shall be the duty of the mayor to be vigilant and active at all times, in causing the laws for the government of said city to be duly executed and put in force ; to inspect the conduct of all subordinate officers in the government thereof, and as far as may be in his power to cause all negligence, carelessness, and positive violation of duty to be duly prosecuted and punished.
Sivu 336 - I hold that the State has a right to compel parents to take advantage of the means of educating their children. If it can punish them for crime, it should have the power of preventing them from committing it, by giving them the habits and the education that are the surest safeguards.

Sivu 86 - ... of giving a high classical education, equal about to a college education, to all the girls of a city, whose parents would wish them to be thus educated at the expense of the city, was just as impracticable as to give such an one to all the boys of it at the city's expense. Indeed, more so, because girls, not being drawn away from the college by preparation for a profession or trade, would have nothing except their marriage to prevent their parents from availing of it. No funds of any city could...
Sivu 25 - And it shall be the duty of the mayor to be vigilant and active at all times, in causing the laws for the government of said city to be duly executed and put in force...
Sivu 98 - rejoicing, not, indeed, with a public and patriotic, but with a private and individual joy ' ; for I shall retire with a consciousness weighed against which all human suffrages are but as the light dust of the balance.
Sivu 133 - But I would not wish, under any circumstances, to dwell upon incidents like these, thankful as I am that time, which has secured our freedom, has extinguished our resentments. I therefore turn from these painful reminiscences, and refer you to the day when Independence, mature in age and loveliness, advanced with angelic grace from the chamber in which she was born into the same balcony, and holding in her hand the immortal scroll on which her name and character and claims to her inheritance were...
