Stran 564 - ... it is contrary to experience that a miracle should be true, but not contrary to experience that testimony should be false.
Stran 474 - If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning. If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy.
