Wealth And Want Equally Harden The Human

It Is Very Sad For A Man To Make Himself Servant To A Single Thing; His Manhood All Taken Out Of Him By The Hydraulic Pressure Of Excessive Business.

For A Thousand Years No King In Christendom Has Shown Such Greatness Or Given So High A Type Of Manly Virtue.

Want And Wealth Equally Harden The Human Heart, As Frost And Fire Are Both Alien To The Human Flesh. Famine And Gluttony Alike Drive Away Nature From The Heart Of Man.

No Virtue Fades Out Of Mankind. Not Over-hopeful By Inborn Temperament, Cautious By Long Experience, I Yet Never Despair Of Human Virtue.

I Do Not Pretend To Understand The Moral Universe; The Arc Is A Long One, My Eye Reaches But Little Ways; I Cannot Calculate The Curve And Complete The Figure By The Experience Of Sight, I Can Divine It By Conscience. And From What I See I Am Sure It Bends Towards Justice.
