Page 90 - And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the Lord your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed.
Page 228 - When the poor and needy seek water, and there is none, and their tongue faileth for thirst, I the Lord will hear them, I the God of Israel will not forsake them.

Ye are the Children of God, the sharers of immortal bliss, holy and perfect beings. Ye divinities on earth— sinners! It is a sin to call a man so; it is a standing libel on human nature.
Page 195 - Asia.

The traveller could scarcely make his way through the press of holy mendicants and not less holy bulls.
Page 202 - In childhood, a female must be subject to her father, in youth to her husband, when her lord is dead to her sons; a woman must never be independent.
Page 82 - The courtesans are as much a part of the establishment of the temple, as much ministers of the god, as the priests. Crimes against life, crimes against property, are not only permitted but enjoined by this odious theology.
