Quotes and Images from Christopher Columbus
Young, Filson
Quotations
She must either sin or be celibate
Shifts and deceits that he practised
Spaniards sometimes hanged thirteen of
them in a row
Spaniards undertook to teach the
heathen the Christian religion
St. Chrysostom opposed the theory of
the earth's roundness
Stayed till night to eat their sop for
fear of seeing (weevils)
Stuffed so full indeed that eyes and
ears are closed
Tasks that are the common heritage of
all small boys
Terror and amazement; they had never
seen horses before
The cross and the sword, the whip-lash
and the Gospel
The great thing in those days was to
discover something
The missionary walked beside the
slave-driver
The terrified seamen making vows to the
Virgin
Theologians, however, proved equal to
the occasion
There is deception and untruth
somewhere
They saw the past in the light of the
present
Took himself and the world very
seriously
Vague longing and unrest that is the
life-force of the world
When the pot boils the scum rises to
the surface
Who never could meet any trouble
without grumbling
