Appearance rules the world.

The world is ruled only by consideration of advantages.

The history of the world is the world's court of justice.

We have abolished the real world: what world is left? The apparent world perhaps? . . . But no! with the real world we have also abolished the apparent world.

The rich become richer and the poor become poorer is a cry heard throughout the whole civilized world.

As freely as the firmament embraces the world, or the sun pours forth impartially his beams, so mercy must encircle both friend and foe.
