Stran 186 - States governing their possessory title, shall have the exclusive right of possession and enjoyment of all the surface included within the lines of their locations, and of all veins, lodes, and ledges throughout their entire depth, the top or apex of which lies inside of such surface lines extended downward vertically, although such veins, lodes or ledges may so far depart from a perpendicular in their course downward as to extend outside the vertical side lines of such surface locations.
Stran 112 - Whatever power such a being may have over me, there is one thing which he shall not do : he shall not compel me to worship him.

Stran 374 - It is impossible that the allied powers should extend their political system to any portion of either continent, without endangering our peace and happiness ; nor can any one believe that our southern brethren, if left to themselves, would adopt it of their own accord. It is equally impossible, therefore, that we should behold such interposition, in any form, with indifference.
Stran 217 - Monsieur, tell those who sent you that we are here by the will of the People, and that nothing but the force of bayonets...
Stran 302 - GOD ; and he is mighty and wise. His is the kingdom of heaven and earth; he giveth life, and he putteth to death ; and he is almighty. He is the first, and the last; the manifest, and the hidden : and lie knoweth all things.
Stran 137 - Thou hast said much here of Paradise Lost, but what hast thou to say of Paradise Found?
Stran 112 - The social problem of the future we considered to be, how to unite the greatest individual liberty of action, with a common ownership in the raw material of the globe, and an equal participation of all in the benefits of combined labour.
