““It was never enough to legislate laws and tell stories about guardian gods. One also had to collect taxes.””
““It was never enough to legislate laws and tell stories about guardian gods. One also had to collect taxes.””
“Believing, as they now did, that the heavenly powers took part in human affairs, they became so much absorbed in the cultivation of religion and so deeply imbued with the sense of their religious duties, that the sanctity of an oath had more power to control their lives than the fear of punishment for lawbreaking.”
