“God gave the righteous man a certificate entitling him to food and raiment, but the unrighteous man found a facsimile of the same in Gods coffers, and appropriated it, and obtained food and raiment like the former. It is one of the most extensive systems of counterfeiting that the world has seen.”

“One of the best ways to persuade others is with your earsby listening to them.”
—Dean Rusk (b. 1909)
