He who believes in goodness has the essence of all faith. He is a man of cheerful yesterdays and confident to-morrows.
James Freeman ClarkeUnmixed praise is not due to any one. It leaves behind a sense of unreality. We can only do justice to a great man by a discriminating criticism. Hero-worship, which paints a faultless monster, whom the world never saw, is like those modern pictures which are a blaze of light without any shadow.
