Justice Is Peculiarly Indispensable To Nations .

Reverence For Greatness Dies Out, And Is Succeeded By Base Envy Of Greatness.

Virtue Is But Heroic Bravery, To Do The Thing Thought To Be True, In Spite Of All Enemies Of Flesh Or Spirit, In Despite Of All Temptations Or Menaces.

All The Great And Beneficent Operations Of Nature Are Produced By Slow And Often Imperceptible Degrees. The Work Of Destruction And Devastation Only Is Violent And Rapid.

Man Is Not To Be Comprehended As A Starting-point, Or Progress As A Goal, Without Those Two Great Forces , Faith And Love . Prayer Is Sublime.
