Sivu 344 - ... for if any one shall claim a power to lay and levy taxes on the people by his own authority, and without such consent of the people, he thereby invades the fundamental law of property, and subverts the end of government. For what property have I in that which another may by right take when he pleases to himself ? 141.
Sivu 299 - Upon the whole, perpetual war is bad, becaufe it converts men into beafts of prey : perpetual peace is worfe, becaufe it converts men into beafts of burden. To. prevent fuch woful degeneracy on both hands, war and peace alternately are the only effectual means ; and thefe means are adopted by Providence.
Sivu 342 - it is not only a great oppreffion upon " the poorer fort, but a badge of flavery " upon the whole people, expofing every " man's houfe to be entered into and " fearched at pleafure, by perfons un
Sivu 101 - Eider duck may give a leflbn to many a married woman, who is more difpofed to pluck her hufband than herfelf. The black game never pair : in fpring the cock on an eminence crows, and claps his wings; and all the females within hearing inftantly refort to him*.

For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife ; and they twain shall be one flesh : so then they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

Sivu 292 - État libre des gens hardis dans la guerre et timides dans la paix, c'est vouloir des choses impossibles ; et, pour règle générale, toutes les fois qu'on verra tout le monde tranquille dans un État qui se donne le nom de République, on peut être assuré que la liberté n'y est pas.
Sivu 117 - On flesh days, (that is, when meat was not forbidden by the Catholic religion), through the year, breakfast for my lord and lady was a loaf of bread, two manchets, a quart of beer, a quart of wine, half a chine of mutton, or a chine of beef boiled.
