Страница 266 - Some men look at constitutions with sanctimonious reverence, and deem them, like the ark of the covenant, too sacred to be touched. They ascribe to the men of the preceding age a wisdom more than human, and suppose what they did to be beyond amendment.
Страница 385 - Never buy what you do not want, because it is cheap ; it will be dear to you.
