What a hell of an economic system! Some are replete with everything while others, whose stomachs are no less demanding, whose hunger is just as recurrent, have nothing to bite on. The worst of it is the constrained posture need puts you in. The needy man does not walk like the rest; he skips, slithers, twists, crawls.

Elisabeth, again, while she praises her, is so far from hiding the Divine glory, that she ascribes everything to God.

Ferdinand Foch
