Quotes About Unity

Capì questo: che le associazioni rendono l'uomo più forte e mettono in risalto le doti migliori delle singole persone, e danno la gioia che raramente s'ha restando per proprio conto, di vedere quanta gente c'è onesta e brava e capace e per cui vale la pena di vedere cose buone (mentre vivendo per proprio conto capita più spesso il contrario, di vedere l'altra faccia della gente, quella per cui bisogna tener sempre la mano alla guardia della spada)
