Σελίδα 29 - And only the Master shall praise us, and only the Master shall blame; And no one shall work for money, and no one shall work for fame. But each for the joy of working, and each in his separate star, Shall draw the Thing as he sees it for the God of Things as They Are!
Σελίδα 19 - Members of the House of Representatives and two Members of the Senate whose memories we honor today.
Σελίδα 45 - A casual, unconsidered, friendly, available and modest hero— quite literally the humanitarian who lived in a house by the side of the road and was a friend to man.
