In The Long Run, Truth

Every Human Being Is Intended To Have A Character Of His Own; To Be What No Others Are, And To Do What No Other Can Do.

No Man Receives The Full Culture Of A Man In Whom The Sensibility To The Beautiful Is Not Cherished; And There Is No Condition Of Life From Which It Should Be Excluded. Of All Luxuries This Is The Cheapest, And The Most At Hand, And Most Important To Those Conditions Where Coarse Labor Tends To Give Grossness To The Mind.

We Honor Revelation Too Highly To Make It The Antagonist Of Reason, Or To Believe That It Calls Us To Renounce Our Highest Powers.

Soul Gathers Force It Is Possible, When The Future Is Dim, When Our Depressed Faculties Can Form No Bright Ideas Of The Perfection And Happiness Of A Better World,-it Is Possible Still To Cling To The Conviction Of God's Merciful Purpose Towards His Creatures, Of His Parental Goodness Even In Suffering, Still To Feel That The Path Of Duty, Though Trodden With A Heavy Heart, Leads To Peace.

War Is To Be Ranked Among The Most Dreadful Calamities Which Fall On A Guilty World; And, What Deserves Consideration, It Tends To Multiply And Perpetuate Itself Without End. It Feeds And Grows On The Blood Which It Sheds. The Passions, From Which It Springs, Gain Strength And Fury From Indulgence.
