Dionysius of Halicarnassus quotes:
-
Short prayer pierceth heaven.
-
It is a common law of nature, which no time will ever change, that superiors shall rule their inferiors.
-
Governments are not overthrown by the poor, who have no power, but by the rich-when they are insulted by their inferiors and cannot obtain justice.
-
A generous and noble spirit cannot be expected to dwell in the breasts of men who are struggling for their daily bread.
-
The form of government, when it has been prudently established, produces citizens distinguished for bravery, justice, and every other good quality; whereas, on the other hand, bad institutions render men cowardly, rapacious, and slaves of every foul desire.
-
Look that nothing live in thy working mind, but a naked intent stretching into God.
-
That meek darkness be thy mirror, and thy whole remembrance.
-
Of God Himself can no man think. And therefore I would leave all that thing that I can think, and choose to my love that thing that I cannot think.
