الصفحة 161 - Truly, I say to you, as you did it not to one of the least of these, you did it not to me.
الصفحة 20 - In Europe people talk a great deal of the wilds of America, but the Americans themselves never think about them: they are insensible to the wonders of inanimate nature, and they may be said not to perceive the mighty forests which surround them till they fall beneath the hatchet.
