O lord of courage grave, o master of this night of spring! Make firm in me a heart too brave to ask thee anything Picture Quote #1

James had passed through the fire, but he had passed also through the river of years which washes out the fire; he had experienced the saddest experience of all - forgetfulness of what it was like to be in love Picture Quote #1

The law is what it is - a majestic edifice, sheltering all of us, each stone of which rests on another Picture Quote #1

The young man who, at the end of September, 1924, dismounted from a taxicab in South Square, Westminster, was so unobtrusively American that his driver had some hesitation in asking for double his fare. The young man had no hesitation in refusing it Picture Quote #1
