I do not pretend to understand the moral universe; the arc is a long one. . . . But from what I see I am sure it bends toward justice.
Man never falls so low that he can see nothing higher than himself.
Who escapes a duty, avoids a gain.
Truth stood on one side and Ease on the other; it has often been so.
What succeeds we keep, and it becomes the habit of mankind.
Intellect is stronger than cannon.
