Le Marquis de Pombal, p. 377 - On the glory of Sebastião José de Carvalho e Melo, 1st Marquess of Pombal
Quote of the day
Every hand and every hour should be devoted to rescue the world from its insanity of guilt, and to assuage the pangs of human hearts with balm and anodyne. To pity distress is but human; to relieve it is Godlike.
