For a century longer, Rome still retains its outward form, but the swarming nations are now in full career.
From John Lothrop Motley
In Gaul were two orders, the nobility and the priesthood, while the people, says Caesar, were all slaves.
The gigantic Gaul derided the Roman soldiers as a band of pigmies.
The rise of the Dutch Republic must ever be regarded as one of the leading events of modern times.
The splendid empire of Charles the Fifth was erected upon the grave of liberty.
The sword - the first, for a time the only force: the force of iron.
Wealth brings strength, strength confidence.
A new civilization was not to be improvised by a single mind.
A terrible animal, indeed, is an unbridled woman.
Enthusiasm could not supply the place of experience.
