Σελίδα 83 - It were better to have no opinion of God at all, than such an Opinion as is unworthy of him : for the one is unbelief, the other is contumely : and certainly superstition is the reproach of the Deity. Plutarch saith well to that purpose :
Σελίδα 170 - Is not the inference irresistible, then, that no man, by whatever means he may have come into possession of his property, has any natural right, any more than he has a moral one, to hold it, or to dispose of it, irrespective of the needs and claims of those who, in the august procession of the generations, are to be his successors on the stage of existence...

Σελίδα 171 - Most of all this was found out by those who have gone before us, and some of it has come down to us from a remote antiquity.

Σελίδα 9 - All schools aided by local rates shall be under the management of local authorities, and subject to Government inspection. 4. — All schools aided by local rates shall be unsectarian. 5. — To all schools aided by local rates admission shall be free. 6. — School accommodation being provided, the State, or the local authorities, shall have power to compel the attendance of children of suitable age not otherwise receiving education.
