"Though the earth contains greater energy and mass than any single being, linked together, "people make the world go-round"."
"William Cowper said that God made the country, and man made the town. If it was the opposite, there would be no country; because town can be created from the country but the country cannot be created from the town!"
"Why, because an author has more rights than ordinary people, as everybody knows. People will stand much more from him."
