His heart was filled with boundless gratitude to her for her noble effort to save him, but he would have given his life at this moment, to undo what she had done. The Terrorists were no respecters of persons or of sex. A domicillary search order, in those days, conferred full powers on those in authority, and Juliette might at any moment now be peremptorily ordered to rise.
In so far as they have failed, they have failed because they have lacked what proselytizing religion has always lacked a joy in life that seeks to make this mundane existence more endurable, a grace of humor, and a broad simplicity. Polynesians have always been respecters of authority.
It would not at all diminish a proper respect for the officers, and subordination to their authority among the seamen, were all this idle parade only ministering to the arrogance of the officers, without at all benefiting the state completely done away. But to do so, we voters and lawgivers ourselves must be no respecters of persons.
Upon this grave question there was much debate and much difference of opinion. Holland and Zeeland had never contemplated the possibility of accepting any foreign sovereignty, and the opponents of the present scheme were loud and angry, but very reasonable in their remarks.

We fail to appreciate that the cosmic laws are no respecters of persons. Emerson says there is no god dare wrong a worm, but worms dare wrong one another, and there is no god dare take sides with either. The tides in the affairs of men are as little subject to human control as the tides of the sea and the air.
So he resolutely refused to pay or to give up a single span of his land unless the friars should first prove the legality of their claim by exhibiting a title-deed of some kind. As they had none, a lawsuit followed, and Cabesang Tales entered into it, confiding that some at least, if not all, were lovers of justice and respecters of the law.
