You shall scantly go above him, I count." "I would I were but a king! Wouldn't I lead a brave life!" "That would not I be for all the riches in Christendom." "The which speech showeth thine unwisdom. Who so bravely apparelled as I, trow?" "Be your garments not warm enough, Matthew?" "Warm enough? certes! But they be only camoca and lamb's far, with never a silver button, let be gold."
"The truth is that Islam is more than a creed, it is a complete social system; it is a civilization with a philosophy, a culture, and an art of its own; in its long struggle against the rival civilization of Christendom it has become an organic unit conscious of itself." To this Islamic civilization all Moslems are deeply attached. In this larger sense, Pan-Islamism is universal.

In the depths of bare, wretched rooms, indeed, by the side of humble pallets of suffering throughout all Christendom, a vision of the Basilica with its blazing riches continually arose like a vision of fortune itself, like a vision of the wealth of that life to be, into which the poor would surely some day enter after their long, long misery in this terrestrial sphere.
If he wished to describe an automobile turning in at a gate, he made first a long and elaborate description from which there was omitted no detail, which the most observant pair of eyes in Christendom had ever noted with reference to just such a turning.
