Who saves his country violates no law.

Who saves his country violates no law.

Summary

This quote suggests that when someone takes action to save their country, they are not committing any wrongdoing. It implies that protecting one's nation and its interests often supersedes adhering strictly to the laws and regulations that govern society during times of crisis or threat. By giving precedence to safeguarding their country, individuals may engage in actions that might be viewed as breaking the law under normal circumstances, but are ultimately justified as they serve a higher purpose of defending their nation.

Then a ploughman said , speak to us of work : in keeping you

Then a ploughman said , speak to us of work : in keeping yourself with labour you are in truth loving life ,And to love life throught labour is to be intimate with inmost secrets .And what is it to work with love ?it is to weave the colth with threads from your heart , even as if your beloved were to wear that colth .It is to build a house with affection , even as if your beloved were to dwell in that house .It is to sow seeds with tenderness and reap the harvest with joy , even as if your beloved were to eat the fruit .It is to change all things you fashion with a breath of your own spirit .He who works in marble , and finds the shape of his own soul in the stone , is nobler than he who ploughs the soil.
