God, who prepares His work through ages, accomplishes it when the hour is come, with the feeblest instruments.
communication age world

What a pity that the only way to heaven is in a hearse.
thinking firsts moral
How many of us have been first attracted to reason, first learned to think, to draw conclusions, to extract a moral from the follies of life, by some dazzling aphorism from Rochefoucauld or La Bruyere.
moving humor law
At bank, post office or supermarket, there is one universal law which you ignore at your own peril: the shortest line moves the slowest.
