HISTORY UNITED NETHERLANDS, 1598 by Motley[#70][jm70v10.txt]4870

A despot really keeps no accounts, nor need to do so

All Italy was in his hands

Every one sees what you seem, few perceive what you are

God of wrath who had decreed the extermination of all unbeliever

Had industry been honoured instead of being despised

History is but made up of a few scattered fragments

Hugo Grotius

Idle, listless, dice-playing, begging, filching vagabonds

Ignorance is the real enslaver of mankind

Innocent generation, to atone for the sins of their forefathers

Intelligence, science, and industry were accounted degrading

Labour was esteemed dishonourable

Man had no rights at all He was property

Matters little by what name a government is called

Moral nature, undergoes less change than might be hoped

Names history has often found it convenient to mark its epochs

National character, not the work of a few individuals

Proceeds of his permission to eat meat on Fridays

Rarely able to command, having never learned to obey

Rich enough to be worth robbing

Seems but a change of masks, of costume, of phraseology

Selling the privilege of eating eggs upon fast-days

Sentiment of Christian self-complacency

Spain was governed by an established terrorism

That unholy trinity--Force; Dogma, and Ignorance

The great ocean was but a Spanish lake

The most thriving branch of national industry (Smuggler)

The record of our race is essentially unwritten

Thirty thousand masses should be said for his soul

Those who argue against a foregone conclusion

Three or four hundred petty sovereigns (of Germany)

Utter want of adaptation of his means to his ends

While one's friends urge moderation

Whole revenue was pledged to pay the interest, on his debts
