I cannot play upon any stringed instrument; but I can tell you how of a little village to make a great and glorious city.—Themistocles.


Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree.

And they shall build houses and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards and eat the fruit of them. They shall not build and another inhabit; they shall not plant and another eat. —Isaiah.
