Quotes and Images From Motley's History of the Netherlands
Motley, John Lothrop
Quotations
Wonder equally at human capacity to
inflict and to endure misery
Wonders whether it has found its harbor
or only lost its anchor
Word peace in Spanish mouths simply
meant the Holy Inquisition
Word-mongers who, could clothe one
shivering thought
Words are always interpreted to the
disadvantage of the weak
Work of the aforesaid Puritans and a
few Jesuits
World has rolled on to fresher fields
of carnage and ruin
Worn crescents in their caps at Leyden
Worn nor caused to be worn the collar
of the serf
Worship God according to the dictates
of his conscience
Would not help to burn fifty or sixty
thousand Netherlanders
Wrath of the Jesuits at this exercise
of legal authority
Wrath of bigots on both sides
Wrath of that injured personage as he
read such libellous truths
Wringing a dry cloth for drops of
evidence
Write so illegibly or express himself
so awkwardly
Writing letters full of injured
innocence
Yes, there are wicked men about
Yesterday is the preceptor of To-morrow
You must show your teeth to the
Spaniard
