The history of the world is the world's court of justice.
Power is the most persuasive rhetoric.
Time is a blooming field: nature is ever teeming with life: and all is seed, and all is fruit.
Yet have I ever heard it said that spies and tale-bearers have done more mischief in this world than poisoned bowl or the assassin's dagger.
Truth is more than a dream and a song.
The mind is the eyesight of the soul.
