Evelyn Beatrice Hall Quotes
In his home-life Turgot remained most frugal and laborious, treating his servants with a benevolence then accounted contemptible, and working out his quiet schemes with an infinite patience and thoroughness.

Only a little, it might be. But if every man did the little he could — what a different world!
