Little, Paul

38.

Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von

Without doubt God is the universal moving force, but each being is moved according to the nature that God has given it.

This rule is truly the eternal law and in it we must believe.

We didn't think much in the air corps of a fellow who wangled a cushy job out of his C.O. by buttering him up.

W. Somerset Maugham
