她可记得那一天么？就在那一天，仙女般的丽质天赋最初教会她自私残酷，对别人的苦乐漠不关心，心肠冰冷而又反复无常，贪图人们的羡慕赞美，苛刻而又专横，俊俏妇人的专横可是天下最厉害的专制暴政啊！

Likewise, there were three main forms of government, each supported by a social "principle": monarchies (free governments headed by a hereditary figure, e.g. king, queen, emperor), which rely on the principle of honor; republics (free governments headed by popularly elected leaders), which rely on the principle of virtue; and despotisms (enslaved governments headed by dictators), which rely on fear.

A good, generous prayer it was, and went into details: it pleaded for the church, and the little children of the church; for the other churches of the village; for the village itself; for the county; for the State; for the State officers; for the United States; for the churches of the United States; for Congress; for the President; for the officers of the Government; for poor sailors, tossed by stormy seas; for the oppressed millions groaning under the heel of European monarchies and Oriental despotisms; for such as have the light and the good tidings, and yet have not eyes to see nor ears to hear withal; for the heathen in the far islands of the sea; and closed with a supplication that the words he was about to speak might find grace and favor, and be as seed sown in fertile ground, yielding in time a grateful harvest of good.

这是一篇很好的、内容丰富的祷告词，面面俱到：它为教堂和里面的孩子们祈祷；为全县向主求福；为漂泊在狂风暴雨的海洋上可怜的水手们求福；为被迫在欧洲君主制度和东方专制制度铁蹄下呻吟着的数万劳苦大众求福；为那些有了教主的光和福音而熟视无睹、充耳不闻的人求福；为远处海岛上的那些异帮教徒求福；最后牧师祈求天主恩准他所说的话，希望他的话像播种在肥沃土地里的种子一样，将会开花结果，造福无穷。阿门。

斯巴达是古希腊最强大的城邦，用普鲁塔克（《名人传·莱库古传》，陆永庭译， pp123）的话说就是：斯巴达仅仅凭着它信使的节杖和使者的大氅，就能使整个希腊心悦诚服、欣然从命；就能推翻各国非法的寡头统治与僭主政体；就能仲裁战争、平息叛乱。常常不必动用一兵一卒，仅仅派出一名使节即行；号令一出，顿时臣服；如同蜂群的首领驾临，群蜂都密集成群地簇拥他一样。
