H. Rider Haggard Quote

. . but of those Jews whom I hated, for they called me 'heathen' when I would have taught them my philosophy — did their Messiah come, and doth He rule the world?Their Messiah came, I answered with reverence; but He came poor and lowly, and they would have none of Him. They scourged Him, and crucified Him upon a tree, but yet His words and His works live on, for He was the Son of God, and now of a truth He doth rule half the world, but not with an Empire of the World.
