Democracy Is That Which Affords

The Worth Of Every Conviction Consists Precisely In The Steadfastness With Which It Is Held.

I Am Not One Of Those Who Believe - Broadly Speaking - That Women Are Better Than Men. We Have Not Wrecked Railroads, Nor Corrupted Legislatures, Nor Done Many Unholy Things That Men Have Done; But Then We Must Remember That We Have Not Had The Chance.

The Identification With The Common Lot Which Is The Essential Idea Of Democracy Becomes The Source And Expression Of Social Ethics. It Is As Though We Thirsted To Drink At The Great Wells Of Human Experience, Because We Knew That A Daintier Or Less Potent Draught Would Not Carry Us To The End Of The Journey, Going Forward As We Must In The Heat And Jostle Of The Crowd.

We Forget That The Accumulation Of Knowledge And The Holding Of Convictions Must Finally Result In The Application Of That Knowledge And Those Convictions To Life Itself.

The Essence Of Immorality Is The Tendency To Make An Exception Of Myself.
