“The child grew and became strong in spirit, and he was in the wilderness until the day he appeared publicly to Israel.”
—Bible: New Testament, Luke 1:80.
“The discovery of the North Pole is one of those realities which could not be avoided. It is the wages which human perseverance pays itself when it thinks that something is taking too long.
