Truth for authority, not authority for truth.

We too often bind ourselves by authorities rather than by the truth.

The legal theory is, that marriage makes the husband and wife one person, and that person is the husband.

Let our lives be in accordiance with our convictions of right, each striving to carry out our principles

In the marriage union, the independence of the husband and wife will be equal, their dependence mutual, and their obligations reciprocal.

Truth for authority, not authority for truth.

Weep not for me. Rather let your tears flow for the sorrows of the multitude. My work is done. Like a ripe fruit I admit the gathering. Death has no terrors for it is a wise law of nature. I am ready whenever the summons may come.
