She hastened to redeem herself from any possible charge of bloodthirstiness. "I don't mean," she said, "that it isn't awful for a man to lose his leg. But men who go through a thing like that and come out conquerors are rather wonderful, Mrs. Flippin." Madge had hold of Mrs. Flippin's hand.

The cruel Aurangzeeb practically closed the Mogul dynasty by his weakness, bloodthirstiness, and uncompromising bigotry. It is strange that during the centuries of cruel dominion, of uncompromising fanaticism, and of religious intolerance, the whole population of the land was not absorbed into Islam.

Just, and the rest of the fanatics who have waded to their ends through blood." "He who wills the END, wills the MEANS." "A devil's maxim." "But a truth.

It is not that fanatics thirst for blood far from it, but they thirst for the triumph of their cause.

Conyngham rubbed his eyes and instinctively turned to look at his companion, who was as unreal as his surroundings a round-faced, chubby little man, with a tender mouth and moist dark eyes looking kindly out upon the world, who called himself General Vincente; and the name was synonymous in all Spain with bloodthirstiness and cruelty, with daring and an unsparing generalship.
Return without danger to you dwellings and preach mercy to your party; refrain from blood and tell your magistrates, who call their cruel bloodthirstiness justice, how much better are our sentiments, how much better we are than they. Heaven will the more readily bless my marriage the less I indulge my wrath and desire of vengeance."
