Pagina 346 - State, and the civil dissensions which may, from time to time, on great questions, agitate the several communities which compose a great empire. It looks to me to be narrow and pedantic to apply the ordinary ideas of criminal justice to this great public contest. I do not know the method of drawing up an indictment against a whole people.
Pagina 346 - It should seem, to my way of conceiving such matters, that there is a very wide difference in reason and policy, between the mode of proceeding on...
Pagina 453 - Then all the mounds and banks of our constancy were borne down at once ; and the frenzy of the American war broke in upon us like a deluge. This victory, which seemed to put an immediate end to all difficulties, perfected us in that spirit of domination which our unparalleled prosperity had but too long nurtured.
Pagina 196 - Moreover, we always hear and pronounce on public matters, when discussed by our leaders, — or perhaps strike out for ourselves correct reasonings about them: far from accounting discussion an impediment to action, we complain only if we are not told what is to be done before it becomes our duty to do it.

Pagina 453 - England) you were greatly divided ; and a very strong body, if not the strongest, opposed itself to the madness which every art and every power were employed to render popular, in order that the errors of the rulers might be lost in the general blindness of the nation.
Pagina 218 - Three years altogether did this calamity desolate Athens : continuously, during the entire second and third years of the war — after which followed a period of marked abatement for a year and a half ; but it then revived again, and lasted for another year, with the same fury as at first. The public loss, over and above the private misery, which this unexpected enemy inflicted upon Athens, was incalculable. Out of...
Pagina 199 - This portion of the speech of Perikles deserves peculiar attention, because it serves to correct an assertion, often far too indiscriminately made, respecting antiquity as contrasted with modern societies — an assertion that the ancient societies sacrificed the individual to the state, and that only in modern times has individual agency been left free to the proper extent.
