Nations, like individuals, live and die; but civilization cannot die.—Mazzini.
Clergymen.—The life of a conscientious clergyman is not easy. I have always considered a clergyman as the father of a larger family than he is able to maintain. I would rather have Chancery suits upon my hands than the cure of souls. I do not envy a clergyman's life as an easy life, nor do I envy the clergyman who makes it an easy life.—Johnson.
Clergymen consider this world only as a diligence in which they can travel to another.—Napoleon.
The clergy are as like as peas.—Emerson.
Commander.—The right of commanding is no longer an advantage transmitted by nature like an inheritance; it is the fruit of labors, the price of courage.—Voltaire.
The trident of Neptune is the sceptre of the world.—Antoine Lemierre.
He who rules must humor full as much as he commands.—George Eliot.
Commerce.—She may well be termed the younger sister, for, in all emergencies, she looks to agriculture both for defense and for supply.—Colton.
Commerce defies every wind, outrides every tempest, and invades every zone.—Bancroft.
Common Sense.—If common sense has not the brilliancy of the sun it has the fixity of the stars.—Fernan Caballero.
