The axe that laid it low:
Let man who hopes to be forgiven
Forgive and bless his foe. [ Sadi ]

Where the offence is, let the great axe fall. [ William Shakespeare ]

Virtue pardons the wicked, as the sandal-tree perfumes the axe which strikes it. [ Saadi ]

The axe of intemperance has lopped off his green boughs and left him a withered trunk. [ Swift ]

The invention of printing added a new element of power to the race. From that hour, in a most especial sense, the brain and not the arm, the thinker and not the soldier, books and not kings, were to rule the world; and weapons, forged in the mind, keen-edged and brighter than the sunbeam, were to supplant the sword and the battle-axe. [ Whipple ]
