Strana 518 - And, now and then, a sigh he stole, And tears began to flow.
Strana 317 - May the great God, whom I worship, grant to my country, and for the benefit of Europe in general, a great and glorious victory, and may no misconduct in any one tarnish it; and may humanity after victory be the predominant feature in the British fleet! For myself individually, I commit my life to Him that made me; and may His blessing alight on my endeavours for serving my country faithfully!
Strana 245 - There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet is not washed from their filthiness.
Strana 10 - Rightly to be great Is not to stir without great argument, But greatly to find quarrel in a straw When honour's at the stake.

For not a single drop of real pure Hellenic blood flows in the veins of the Christian population of modern Greece.
Strana 382 - Come trovasti, o scelerata e brutta invenzion, mai loco in uman core? Per te la militar gloria è distrutta, per te il mestier de l'arme è senza onore; per te è il valore e la virtù ridutta, che spesso par del buono il rio migliore: non più la gagliardia, non più l'ardire per te può in campo al paragon venire.
