📖 Quote about pays
Quiconque fait pousser deux épis de blé ou deux brins d'herbe sur un coin de terre où il n'y en avait qu'un auparavant […] rend de plus signalés services à son pays que toute la race des politiciens réunis.
Whoever grows two ears of wheat or two blades of grass on a corner of land where there was only one before […] renders more signal service to his country than the whole race of politicians combined.
Whoever could make two ears of corn or two blades of grass to grow upon a spot of ground where only one grew before would […] do more essential service to his country than the whole race of politicians put together.
