They rise above themselves, above their lesser instincts, to act kindly, to do their duties, to quietly stand their ground each and every day, as conscience and honour demands of them.<br /><br />This is nothing new. But it is something, a basic principle, that we occasionally forget.<br /><br />'Many are the wonders, but nothing more wondrous than man.'<br />Jessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10098169118867085623noreply@blogger.com
