Стр. 379 - Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart: so shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.

Стр. 323 - Among many subjects of importance none can have a stronger claim on our attention than that of education.
