Pàgina 106 - I have known both hunger and nakedness to the utmost extremity of human suffering. I have known what it is to have food given me as charity to a madman ; and I have at times been obliged to shelter myself under the miseries of that character, to avoid a heavier calamity.

Pàgina 485 - ... could trust in as a friend, and could love as a brother: This is the man, whom in your heart above all others, you do, you must, honour.
