“Others will give away large alms in order to be considered charitable people. Should they not give these out of their own wages, which so often they squander on trifles? If this has happened to you, do not forget that you are obliged to pay back to the person concerned all that you gave to the poor without the knowledge or consent of your employers. Then again, there is the one who has been entrusted by his employer with the supervision of the staff, or of workmen, who gives out wine and all sorts of other things to them if they ask him.” PeopleIfsGivingShouldPersonsHas BeensOrderAsksForgetPoorPayHappenedConcernedWineStaffConsentWagesEmployersObligedTriflesCharitableWorkmenAlmsSupervision Author:John Vianney

“You and I have formerly seen warm debates and high political passions. But gentlemen of different politics would then speak to each other and separate the business of the Senate from that of society. It is not so now. Men who have been intimate all their lives, cross the streets to avoid meeting, and turn their heads another way, lest they should be obliged to touch their hats. This may do for young men with whom passion is enjoyment. But it is afflicting to peaceable minds. Tranquility is the old man's milk.” MenWayShouldMindMayHas BeensDifferentYoungPoliticalTurnsPassionSpeakStreetsCrossesMeetingsWarmDebateYoung ManIntimateGentlemanEnjoymentHatsOld ManMilkSenateTranquilityAnother WayObliged Author:Thomas Jefferson
