—Robert Musil (1880–1942)

“They’re two good old friends of mine. I call them Constitution and The Bill of Rights. A most dependable team for long journeys. Then I’ve got another one called Missouri Compromise. And a Supreme Court—a fine, dignified horse, though you have to push him on every now and then.”
—Dan Totheroh (1895–1976)
“Dearest Lord, may I see you today and every day in the person of your sick, and, whilst nursing them, minister unto you.

—Mother Teresa (b. 1910)
