Simplicity Should Not Be Identified

The Platform Of An Ethical Society Is Itself The Altar; The Address Must Be The Fire That Burns Thereon.

As The Light Of Morning Strikes Now One Peak And Then Another, Some Being Illuminated While Others Are In The Shadow, So The Light Of The Essential Moral Principle Shines Now Upon One Duty And Then Upon Another, While Others Are In The Shadow.

We Should Teach Our Children Nothing Which They Shall Ever Need To Unlearn; We Should Strive To Transmit To Them The Best Possessions, The Truest Thought, The Noblest Sentiments Of The Age In Which We Live.

The Right For The Right's Sake Is The Motto Which Everyone Should Take For His Own Life. With That As A Standard Of Value We Can Descend Into Our Hearts, Appraise Ourselves, And Determine In How Far We Already Are Moral Beings, In How Far Not Yet.

Ethical Religion Can Be Real Only To Those Who Are Engaged In Ceaseless Efforts At Moral Improvement. By Moving Upward We Acquire Faith In An Upward Movement, Without Limit.
