John Locke | 1690 | To this purpose, I think it may not be amiss, to set down what I take to be political power; that the power of a Magistrate over a subject may be distinguished from that of a Father over his children, a Master over his servant, a Husband over his wife, and a Lord over his slave.

Lexicography | Devil's Dictionary | BOUNTY, n. The liberality of one who has much, in permitting one who has nothing to get all that he can. A single swallow, it is said, devours ten millions of insects every year. The supplying of these insects I take to be a signal instance of the Creator's bounty in providing for the lives of His creatures. Henry Ward Beecher |
