405. oldal - I have lived, sir, a long time, and the longer I live the more convincing proofs I see of this truth — that GOD governs in the affairs of men.

You and I were long friends : — You are now my Enemy, — and ' I am, yours,
102. oldal - And a Man shall be as an hiding place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest ; as rivers of water in a dry place, and as the shadow of a great rock in a weary land.
283. oldal - It is true, that what is settled by custom, though it be not good, yet at least it is fit.
