Sayfa 352 - The uniform, constant, and uninterrupted effort of every man to better his condition, the principle from which public and national, as well as private opulence is originally derived, is frequently powerful enough to maintain the natural progress of things toward improvement, in spite both of the extravagance of government, and of the greatest errors of administration.
Sayfa 199 - John, that place is destined for another ; yet, since you are there, if you will obey the charge that is given, and remember my mother in your prayers, you shall go on.
