“This act is worthy only of an outcast. For the fame of our race unworthy art thou to dwell in the Palace.”

The perversity of man is as strong and piercing as the thorn of the jungle. With eyes of suspicion and venomous anger do they accuse and persecute them who believe upon the Holy Name.

By him alone that attaineth unto wisdom shall true joy to man be fulfilled according to nature and in peace.
