Daily Dose

From Barchester Towers, by Anthony Trollope

HE WOULD

"He would willingly have been a martyr in the cause, had the cause admitted of martyrdom.  At the present day, unfortunately, public affairs will allow of no martyrs, and therefore it is that there is such a deficiency of zeal."

From Book II, Chapter 15, Oxford - the Master and Tutor of Lazarus
