HISTORY UNITED NETHERLANDS, 1595-96 by Motley[#68][jm68v10.txt]4868

Allow her to seek a profit from his misfortune

Burning of Servetus at Geneva

Constant vigilance is the price of liberty

Evil has the advantage of rapidly assuming many shapes

French seem madmen, and are wise

Hanging of Mary Dyer at Boston

Imposed upon the multitudes, with whom words were things

Impossible it was to invent terms of adulation too gross

In times of civil war, to be neutral is to be nothing

Meet around a green table except as fencers in the field

One-third of Philip's effective navy was thus destroyed

Patriotism seemed an unimaginable idea

Placid unconsciousness on his part of defeat

Plea of infallibility and of authority soon becomes ridiculous

Religion was rapidly ceasing to be the line of demarcation

So often degenerated into tyranny (Calvinism)

Spaniards seem wise, and are madmen

The Alcoran was less cruel than the Inquisition

There are few inventions in morals

To attack England it was necessary to take the road of Ireland

Tranquil insolence

Unproductive consumption was alarmingly increasing

Upon their knees, served the queen with wine

Wish to sell us the bear-skin before they have killed the bear
