“As I trailed dumbly up the next flight it seemed strange that we had never said goodbye. We didn’t know when, if ever, we would see each other again yet neither of us had said a word. I don’t know if Siegfried wanted to say anything but there was a lot try trying to burst from me.

Come to think of it, I’ve never even thanked him for that fifty pounds…until now.”
― James Herriot, All Things Bright and Beautiful

― Heath Sommer

“Labor is prior to, and independent of, capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much the higher consideration. —ABRAHAM LINCOLN1”
