Moreover ye see and hear, that not alone at Ephesus, but almost throughout...
Page 312 - You will confer the greatest benefits on your city, not by raising the roofs, but by exalting the souls [of your fellowcitizens]. For it is better that great souls should live in small habitations than that abject slaves should burrow in great houses.
