Strona 298 - A nation yet, the rulers and the ruled — Some sense of duty, something of a faith, Some reverence for the laws ourselves have made, Some patient force to change them when we will, Some civic manhood firm against the crowd...
Strona 154 - I have not the admiration for the men of the class from whence I sprung that might be expected ; they submit too tamely to oppression, and are too prone to neglect their rights and duties as citizens.
