What is a man born for but to be a reformer, a remaker of what has been made, a denouncer of lies, a restorer of truth and good?

It seems as if the day was not wholly profane in which we have given heed to some natural object.
Men cease to interest us when we find their limitations
The dead sleep in their moonless night; my business is with the living.
