Agnes Repplier Favors Quotations

History is, and has always been trameled by facts. It may ignore some and deny others; but it cannot accommodate itself unreservedly to theories; it cannot be stripped of things evidenced in favor of things surmised.

There are many ways of asking a favor; but to assume that you are granting the favor that you ask shows spirit and invention.

It is not begging but the beggar, who has forfeited favor with the elect.
