Strana 260 - Gather the people together, men, and women, and children, and thy stranger that is within thy gates, that they may hear, and that they may learn, and fear the LORD your God, and observe to do all the words of this law...
Strana 341 - Happy the man - and happy he alone He who can call today his own, He who, secure within, can say 'Tomorrow, do thy worst, for I have...
Strana 239 - But you will say to me, this people, this republic, this state cannot be supported without Indians. Who is to bring us a pitcher of water or a bundle of wood ? Who is to plant our mandioc ? Must our wives do it ? Must our children do it ? In the first place, as you will presently see, these are not the straits in which I would place you : but if necessity and conscience require it, then I reply, yes ! and I repeat it, yes ! you and your wives and your children ought to do it ! We ought...
Strana 275 - It deserves to be remarked, perhaps, that it is in the progressive state, while the society is advancing to the further acquisition, rather than when it has acquired its full complement of riches, that the condition of the labouring poor, of the great body of the people, seems to be the happiest and the most comfortable.
Strana 254 - Direct it flies and rapid, Shattering that it may reach, and shattering what it reaches. My son ! the road, the human being travels, That, on which BLESSING comes and goes, doth follow The river's course, the valley's playful windings, Curves round the corn-field and the hill of vines, Honouring the holy bounds of property ! And thus secure, though late, leads to its end.
Strana 239 - I reply, yes ! and I repeat it, yes ! you, and your wives, and your children ought to do it ! We ought to support ourselves with our own hands ; for better is it to be supported by the sweat of one's own brow than by another's blood. O ye riches of Maranham ! What if these mantles and cloaks* were to be wrung? they would drop blood...
Strana 261 - If I did despise the cause of my manservant or of my maidservant, When they contended with me ; What then shall I do when God riseth up? And when he visiteth, what shall I answer him? Did not he that made me in the womb make him ? And did not one fashion us in the womb?
Strana 248 - Have these Erika considered the consequences of granting their petition? If we cease our cruises against the Christians, how shall we be furnished with the commodities their countries produce, and which are so necessary for us? If we forbear to make slaves of their people, who in this hot climate are to cultivate our lands ? Who are to perform the common labors of our city, and in our families?
Strana 249 - Few of them will return to their countries ; they know too well the greater hardships they must there be subject to ; they will not embrace our holy religion ; they will not adopt our manners ; our people will not pollute themselves by intermarrying with them.
Strana 22 - They are the nearest to our thoughts : they wind into the heart ; the poet's verse slides into the current of our blood. We read them when young ; we remember them when old. We read there of what has happened to others ; we feel that it has happened to ourselves. They are to be had everywhere cheap and good. We breathe but the air of books : we owe everything to their authors, on this side barbarism...
