Far from me, and from my friends, be such frigid philosophy as may conduct us indifferent and unmoved over any ground which has been dignified by wisdom, bravery, or virtue. That man is little to be envied, whose patriotism would not gain force upon the plain of Marathon, or whose piety would not grow warmer among the...
Page 538 - And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be .tormented five months : and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.
