Since the beginning, it was just the same. The only difference, the crowds are bigger now.
Since, therefore, individuals as well as the public are so indebted to these writers for the benefits they enjoy, I think them not only entitled to the honour of palms and crowns, but even to be numbered among the gods.
No, the real American has not yet arrived. He is only in the Crucible, I tell you - he will be the fusion of all races, perhaps the coming superman.
Christ was only crucified once and for a few hours. Think of the hundreds of thousands whom Christ has been crucifying in a quiet way ever since.
Nobody's perfect. The only one that ever was, was crucified.
There's only one reason to be crucified under the Roman Empire, and that is for treason or sedition. Crucifixion, we have to understand, was not actually a form of capital punishment for Rome. In fact, it was often the case that the criminal would be killed first and then crucified.
The significance of the crucifixion is not only what God does for us; consistently throughout the New Testament the crucifixion is portrayed as the pattern that we are to follow. It is a model of social behavior toward the other as well as a statement about what God has done for us.
Only the weak are cruel. Gentleness can only be expected from the strong.
He who is only just is cruel. Who on earth could live were all judged justly?
Cruelty would be delicious if one could only find some sort of cruelty that didn't really hurt.
Cruelty, like every other vice, requires no motive outside of itself; it only requires opportunity.
It takes a career, a lifetime, to build up a reputation, and only one misstep for it all to crumble away.
If I'm in Rome for only 48 hours, I would consider it a sin against God to not eat cacio e pepe, the most uniquely Roman of pastas, in some crummy little joint where Romans eat. I'd much rather do that than go to the Vatican. That's Rome to me.
The crusades of Vietnam and Watergate seemed like a good idea at the time, even a noble one, not only to the press but perhaps to a majority of Americans.
We've got a lot of work to do: not only on education, but on the economy, on our tax code, and on reducing our crushing debt.
The crux of our power isn't only in our voice. It is in our economic function in society.
Not only the entire ability to think rests on language... but language is also the crux of the misunderstanding of reason with itself.
Time flies really quickly. It feels like only a few months ago that I was traded over here and started my career as a Cub in 2013.
I pity Americans for their very bad fruits. Your 'mango' is cucumber. The only thing I really miss about Egypt is mangoes.
As the only woman, I was able to sit with the officers in front, with a glass of vodka in one hand and a cucumber in the other. That's how I went to my first war.
