Stran 35 - All government, indeed every human benefit and enjoyment, every virtue, and every prudent act, is founded on compromise and barter. We balance inconveniences ; we give and take ; we remit some rights that we may enjoy others; and we choose rather to be happy citizens than subtle disputants.
Stran 436 - Crown as you are yourselves, and among them there are hundreds and thousands of men who are every whit as civilized as we are ourselves, who are, if that is anything, better born in the sense that they have older traditions and older families, who are men of wealth, men of cultivation, men of distinguished valour, men who have brought whole armies and placed...

A thorough-paced votary, for that matter, can easily afford to declare at once that this confounding duality of character does more things still, or does at least the most important of all — introduces us without mercy (mercy for ourselves, I mean) to the oddest truth we could have dreamed of meeting...
Stran 436 - India with 300 millions of subjects, who are as loyal to the Crown as you are yourselves, and among them are hundreds and thousands of men who are every whit as civilized as ourselves: who are, if that is anything, better born in the sense that they have older traditions and older families...
