Life Has A Higher End, Than To

Others Are Affected By What I Am, And Say, And Do. So That A Single Act Of Mine May Spread And Spread In Widening Circles, Through A Nation Or Humanity. Through My Vice I Intensify The Taint Of Vice Throughout The Universe. Through My Misery I Make Multitudes Sad. On The Other Hand, Every Development Of My Virtue Makes Me An Ampler Blessing To My Race. Every New Truth That I Gain Makes Me A Brighter Light To Humanity.

The Only Freedom Worth Possessing Is That Which Gives Enlargement To A People's Energy, Intellect, And Virtues.

The Chief Evil Of War Is More Evil. War Is The Concentration Of All Human Crimes. Here Is Its Distinguishing, Accursed Brand. Under Its Standard Gather Violence, Malignity, Rage, Fraud, Perfidy, Rapacity, And Lust. If It Only Slew Man, It Would Do Little. It Turns Man Into A Beast Of Prey.

It Is Far More Important To Me To Preserve An Unblemished Conscience Than To Compass Any Object However Great.

War Will Never Yield But To The Principles Of Universal Justice And Love, And These Have No Sure Root But In The Religion Of Jesus Christ.
