2003, Bashy Quraishy, Dansk identitet, set med brune øjne: 15 samtaler:

I think she is a prize sand nigger, because the fact that she is an immigrant has been emphasized so much. I have never heard anyone say that she was a skilled politician.

Al sædelig Anstrængelse af den Kristne er altid kun Anstrængelse for at samle sig i Tro, for at overgive sig til Guds Førelse og ikke for at gøre det selv, som kun han kan gøre.

1891, Holger Frederik Rørdam, Valget af kirkens tjenere i Danmark, page 36:

All decent exertion of the Christian is always only exertion to gather oneself in faith, to submit to God's leadership and not to do oneself which only he can do.

På samme måde er det menneskets mening, når han opdrager sig til et sædeligt menneske , at hans liv som helhed skal have fordel deraf, men det er ikke meningen, at hver enkelt sædelig handling skal drage en fordel efter sig , som man tydelig kan betegne og udmåle.

1894, Carl Nicolai Starcke, Samvittighedslivet: en fremstilling af principerne for menneskeligt samfundsliv ..., page 115:

In the same way, it is the human's intention, when he raises himself to be a decent human, that his life as a whole should benefit, but it not the intention that every single decent action should have an advantage that can be clearly characterized and measured.

E. Naville, som i 1886 udgav Dødebogen med et stort udvalg af varianter fra Ny Rige, opfattede den som en art pas eller rejsedokument, der skulle medbringes af den døde på den sidste rejse, eller muligvis tillige et vademecum, altså en slags grønspættebog for døde.

E. Naville, who published The Book of the Dead in 1886 with a great selection of variants from the New Kingdom, understood it as a sort of passport or traveling document, which the dead had to bring along on their final journey, or perhaps also a vade mecum, i.e. a sort of guidebook for dead people.

Every year, the Danish tax authority publishes a legal guide in several volumes - a sort of guidebook for tax experts.

There's just one problem: On the top of the first page of the guidebook of the workmarket, it's written in capital letters that the labour movement and the employers stand shoulder-to-shoulder against interference from parliament politicians.
