Pàgina 212 - Give me white paper! This which you use is black and rough with smears Of sweat and grime and fraud and blood and tears, Crossed with the story of men's sins and fears, Of battle and of famine all these years.

But, above all, as to the previous history of this city, God only knows the amount of dirt and confusion that the infidels may have eaten before the coming of the sword of Islam. It were unprofitable for us to inquire into it.
Pàgina 442 - ' Gentlemen, take notice, that for being instrumental in that cause and interest of the Son of God, which hath been pleaded amongst us, and which God hath witnessed to my appeals and wonderful victories I am brought to this place to suffer death this day, and if I had ten thousand lives, I could freely and cheerfully lay them down all, to witness to this matter.
Pàgina 31 - Listen, oh my son ! There is no wisdom equal unto the belief in God ! He created the world, and shall we liken ourselves unto him in seeking to penetrate into the mysteries of his creation ? Shall we say, Behold this star spinneth round that star, and this other star with a tail goeth and cometh in so many years ? Let it go I He, from whose hand it came, will guide and direct it...
Pàgina 401 - The King then taking him by his Arm, drew him aside towards the Window, where, for half an hour, or more they discoursed together ; and amongst other things, the King minded him of the Information concerning him, which if true, rendered him an Enemy in the worst sense to his Person ; to which the Major in his Vindication assured his Majesty, that what was so reported of him was not true ; what he had said, he might repeat, That the Law was equally obliging to great and small, and that Justice had...
