In The Long Run, Truth

A General Loftiness Of Sentiment, Independence Of Men, Consciousness Of Good Intentions, Self-oblivion In Great Objects, Clear Views Of Futurity; Thoughts Of The Blessed Companionship Of Saints And Angels, Trust In God As The Friend Of Truth And Virtue,--these Are The States Of Mind In Which I Should Live.

Men Are Never Very Wise And Select In The Exercise Of A New Power.

Undoubtedly A Man Is To Labor To Better His Condition, But First To Better Himself.

All Virtue Lies In Individual Action, In Inward Energy, In Self Determination. There Is No Moral Worth In Being Swept Away By A Crowd Even Toward The Best Objective.

True Love Is The Parent Of Humility.
