...maintain in these sad days the firm belief that the objective of the trial will show that everything which my dear comrade and helper did was dictated solely by glowing unselfish love for the Fatherland-and I assume the same motives inspire his present opponents, for I strive to be just to all sides...
...these new deputation groups can dissipate Harvard's reputation for "indifference" which is prevalent among the schoolboys, and can show an unselfish friendliness and interest in their cases,--and yet adhere strictly to their original purpose--they are to be commended and encouraged.

Granting that Italy could be no hotter than New England, yet such heat plus the temperature of molten lava must call up memories of Dante and his Inferno. Therefore the unselfish faith of the people, of Linguaglossa must be colossal, for they have approached within scorching distance of the lava to pray for their city...
