Part 25

Only true religion

Only citadel against a tyrant and a conqueror was distrust

Only kept alive by milk, which he drank from a woman's breast

Only foundation fit for history,-- original contemporary document

Opening an abyss between government and people

Opposed the subjection of the magistracy by the priesthood

Oration, fertile in rhetoric and barren in facts

Orator was, however, delighted with his own performance

Others that do nothing, do all, and have all the thanks

Others go to battle, says the historian, these go to war

Our pot had not gone to the fire as often

Our mortal life is but a string of guesses at the future

Outdoing himself in dogmatism and inconsistency

Over excited, when his prejudices were roughly handled

Panegyrists of royal houses in the sixteenth century

Pardon for crimes already committed, or about to be committed

Pardon for murder, if not by poison, was cheaper

Partisans wanted not accommodation but victory

Party hatred was not yet glutted with the blood it had drunk

Passion is a bad schoolmistress for the memory

Past was once the Present, and once the Future

Pathetic dying words of Anne Boleyn

Patriotism seemed an unimaginable idea

Pauper client who dreamed of justice at the hands of law

Paving the way towards atheism (by toleration)

Paying their passage through, purgatory

Peace founded on the only secure basis, equality of strength

Peace was desirable, it might be more dangerous than war
