Quotation from Legends of Charlemagne by Thomas Bulfinch
“But he also saw among so many lost things a great abundance of one thing which men are apt to think they all possess, and do not think it necessary to pray for,--good sense.”
Legends of Charlemagne, Astolpho in Abyssinia (Project Gutenberg #4927)
In the valley on the moon where everything lost on earth is stored, Astolpho finds men's good sense kept in sealed vials.
