Strona 318 - For he who fights and runs away May live to fight another day ; But he who is in battle slain Can never rise and fight again.
Strona 289 - By turns a pitchy cloud she rolls on high; By turns hot embers from her entrails fly, And flakes of mounting flames, that lick the sky. Oft from her bowels massy rocks are thrown, And, shiver'd by the force, come piecemeal down.
Strona 202 - He is said to have invented the famous argument against motion: "if any body be moved, it is either moved in the place where it is, or in a place where it is not; but it is not moved in the place where it is, for where it is, it remains ; nor is it moved in a place where it is not, for nothing can either act or suffer where it is not; therefore there is no such thing as motion.
Strona 404 - They amuse the mind by the remembrance of old words and the portrait of ancient manners; they inculcate the soundest principles of government and morals; and I am not afraid to affirm, that the brief composition of the Decemvirs surpasses in genuine value the libraries of Grecian philosophy.

Strona 54 - The rural honors, and increase the year ; You who supply the ground with seeds of grain ; And you, who swell those seeds with kindly rain ; And chiefly thou, whose undetermined state Is yet the business of the gods' debate.
