Lucius Annaeus Seneca (4 f.Kr.-65)

Near the turn of the century, the destitute of Europe sprang on the city with tenacious claws and an honest and solid dream. The city devoured them. They swelled its belly until it burst into a thousand furnaces and sewing machines, a thousand butcher shops and bakers' ovens, a thousand churches and hospitals and funeral parlors and money lenders. The city grew. It nourished itself and offered each man a partnership limited only by his talent, his guile and his willingness and capacity for hard work. For the immigrants of Europe, a dream dared and won true.

Bible

And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them? / I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth? / And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others: / Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.
