I asked Tom if countries always apologized when they had done wrong, and he says - "Yes; the little ones does

I already heard what he had to say, he apologized. The apology has been accepted. We've move on from there. Ozzie and I have always been friendly. It's not really that big of a deal.

Politicians are like diapers; they need to be changed often and for the same reason

We ought never to do wrong when people are looking.

Tom said to himself that it was not such a hollow world, after all. He had discovered a great law of human action, without knowing it -- namely, that in order to make a man or a boy covet a thing, it is only necessary to make the thing difficult to attain.

Así, pues, le dije:
—Ya sabes, Tom, que no sirvo ni para limpiarte los zapatos. Pero no importa: Dios todopoderoso nos ha creado a todos y a unos los ha dejado ciegos mientras que a otros les ha dado los ojos para verlo todo. Me parece que yo no figuro entre estos últimos; pero sin duda está bien así, puesto que es Dios quien lo ha querido.
